Description of problem:
Rpm segfaults when I attempt to handle packages. I tried removing the
__* lock-files and rebuilding the database.

$ mv Packages Packages-ORIG /usr/lib/rpm/db_dump Packages-ORIG | \
/usr/lib/rpm/db_load Packages


Checks seem to work fine:

$ /usr/lib/rpm/rpmdb_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages works fine
$ rpm -qa also works fine

but when I try to rebuild with rpm --rebuilddb, a segfault occurs

I still can't handle packages :(

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run rpm
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Segmentation fault

Expected Results:  An install, upgrade, removal, or other handling of
specified package

Additional info:

rpm v. 4.3.1

Can you attach rpm -qa -vv output?

Comment 2 Christian Dias Løgberg 2004-06-16 09:43:04 EDT

Created attachment 101186 [details]
output of rpm -qa -vv

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2004-06-17 09:11:31 EDT

ok, all the headers appear intact.

now what happens with rpm --rebuilddb -vv? The
last header instance printed may be damaged ...

Comment 4 Christian Dias Løgberg 2004-06-17 11:05:42 EDT

Created attachment 101219 [details]
output of rpm --rebuilddb -vv

This command also results in a segfault, but I can't see any problems in the
output?

Comment 5 Paul Nasrat 2005-09-26 17:52:53 EDT

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 release, reopen and change the version to match.
