Description Ian Scott 2002-03-11 01:12:25 UTC

Description of problem:
Unable to rebuild rpm db after upgrading to rpm-4.0.2-6x.  --rebuilddb causes 
segmentation fault, as does rpm -qa

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm --rebuilddb -vvv
2.rpm -qa
3.
	

Actual Results:  Segmentation Fault after performing above commands.

Expected Results:  rpm db should have been rebuilt and rpm should work.

Additional info:

I may have done something wrong myself, but I am not sure.  I followed the 
steps in Upgrading, including installing the other dependencies such as popt 
and db3 utilities.  This might not be a bug in the rpm - rather a buggy brain 
at the time of doing the work :).  Nevertheless, I was asked to submit this bug 
by jbj.

Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2002-03-11 13:25:24 UTC

I did a --rebuilddb with rpm-3.0.5 to fix a
damaged record, then did another --rebuilddb
with rpm-4.0.2 to make sure that db1 -> db3
conversion "works".

A fixed copy of your rpm/packages.rpm is at
	ftp://people.redhat.com/jbj/rpmdb-60970-FIX.tar.gz

Download, and install by doing (as root)
	cd /var/lib
	mv rpm rpm-SAVE
	tar xzvf rpmdb-60970-FIX.tar.gz
	rpm --rebuilddb -vv
	rpm -qa
