Description tanner 2001-07-26 21:17:33 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010710

Description of problem:
Upgraded to rpm-4.0.2-6x using the rpm -Uhv command.
The upgrade Segmentation faulted.

Tried rpm -q rpm, it seg faulted.
Tried rpm -qa, it seg faulted.
Tried rpm --rebuilddb, it seg faulted.

Doing a rpm -vv --rebuildb showed:

D: adding "nfs-utils" to Name index.
D: adding 73 entries to Basenames index.
D: adding "System Environment/Daemons" to Group index.
D: adding 17 entries to Requirename index.
D: adding 6 entries to Providename index.
D: adding 3 entries to Triggername index.
Segmentation fault

I removed nfs-utls to see if that would fix the problem, another 
rpm -vv --rebuilddb shows this:

D: adding "mutt" to Name index.
D: adding 52 entries to Basenames index.
D: adding "Applications/Internet" to Group index.
D: adding 17 entries to Requirename index.
D: adding 2 entries to Providename index.
D: adding 1 entries to Conflictname index.

Try rpm-4.0.3-0.57.6x packages (there are 5) from
	ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.3
Most segfaults from bad headers in the database are fixed there.

Please reopen this bug if "rpm --rebuilddb" with rpm-4.0.3-0.57
does not fix your problem.
