Problem also observed with up2date-4.1.12-1
Dito with up2date-4.1.14-2
is behaviour the same when invoked from the commandline as: /usr/sbin/up2date --register if so, could you attach the output ("strace.out") of: strace -o strace.out /usr/sbin/up2date --register
Created attachment 95703 [details] Output of 'strace -o strace.out /usr/sbin/up2date --register' '/usr/sbin/u2date --register' had same result. Attaching output of 'strace -o strace.out /usr/sbin/up2date --register'
hmm. looks like librpm is exit()'ing for some reason. Off hand, I don't know why. Could you try a `rpm --rebuilddb` and try it again? if that doesnt fix it, I'll have to reassign to `rpm`.
The problem didn't present itself on the system in question with up2date-3.1.23.2-1, I've only noticed it since up2date-4.1.*. Anyway I ran rpm --rebuilddb and then /usr/sbin/up2date --register and got the same result.
Created attachment 95724 [details] Output of 'strace -o strace.out /usr/sbin/up2date --register' (5/11/2003) Ran 'strace -o strace.out /usr/sbin/up2date --register' again and am attaching output. I don't know if that will help, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
Same deal with up2date-4.1.16-1
This is an up2date, not an rpm, problem.
