Hide Forgot
As it says, an attempt to rpm --rebuild openldap-1.2.10-4.src.rpm will fail. It may be better said that it simply stops running: [root@atlas /tmp]# rpm -ba /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/openldap.spec Executing(%prep): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.40233 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD [...] + cp -pr doc/devel/README /var/tmp/openldap-root/usr/doc/openldap-devel-1.2.11 + exit 0 Finding Provides: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides)... Finding Requires: (using /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires)... Requires: openldap [root@atlas /tmp]# The particularly astute will notice that it didn't actually write anything. My RPM 3.0.5 was just upgraded via a rebuild of rpm 305 using 304 and subsequent rpm -U and rpm --rebuilddb. Nothing really drastic there. All the src packages are fresh, straight from hammering rawhide.redhat.com (is there a mirror of that?) to pick them up. The goal is to examine a reproducible segfault in LDAP, and so I'm hoping to get the new version so I can see if it still hates itself. Thoughts? Things I can run to test? Should I try installing RPM4 and trying that tool? - bishop
The [...] is the useful part of the build log. The almost-latest openldap-1.2.11-2.src.rpm went out in the last Raw Hide refresh; it may be worth trying. Since we're building everything with RPM 4 now, I'm not quite set up to test with 3.0.5....
Sorry for omitting that part. I was trying to show only where it was crashing, and not intentionally trying ot make life that much harder! 8-) I will move to install RPM4 and see if the behaviour changes, then, with openldap-1.2.11-2. Wish me luck. More news to follow, but only really if the same behaviour repeats itself. Thanks for the prompt reply. Much appreciated! - bish.
openldap-1.2.11-11 builds now with rpm-3.0.5-9.6x. The latter fixed a few RPM problems. See bug id 17782 for a new issue.
