I think this is an rpm related bug... On the arm I cannot get the latest dev package to rebuild, it dumps core. rpm -vv -ba dev.spec [...] + exit 0 Processing files: dev [lots...] D: File 1342: 060640 root.disk /dev/xdb8 D: File 1343: 020664 root.root /dev/zero Segmentation fault (core dumped) If I change Version: to `Version: 2.6' in the spec file it builds fine. This is with rpm-2.91-17 or the latest from cvs (rpm-2.92-1.990301)
OK, ignore most of what I wrote last time... When I changed the version it used the previous tar ball... The only difference between dev 2.6 and 2.6.1, that I can see, is 2.6.1 has: /dev/ptmx /dev/pts So I don't know if this is rpm related or dev related... Well aside from the fact rpm should not dump core :-)
is this still happening with the latest rpm?
Fixed in rpm-2.93. There was a uid/gid in the dev tarball that was not in /etc/passwd or /etc/group that caused a segfault. Rpm now defaults to the builder's user/group if it can't look up a uid/gid.
