Segmentation fault Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.3.1-0.4.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Partially install j2sdk-1.4.2_06-fcs (?) 2. Run rpm 3. Actual Results: Segementation Fault Expected Results: Proper execution Additional info:
A ptr (i.e. URL, attachments usually don't work) to the j2sdk-1.4.2_06-fcs you are using, please, so that a reproducer may be attempted.
The file is avalible at www.sandell.net/j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin
That package installs fine for me using rpm-4.4.1-0.18 from fc4 with just the j2sdk package. You need to do rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* to clean up stale locks after any segfault in rpm (as above). Could you try installing j2sdk by itself with rpm-4.3.1? If j2sdk installs by itself, the segfault is an obscure bug in rpmal.c that shows up with large sets of packages that have certain paths within (I believe). The other way to confirm the bug fix I mention is to repeat the original command with all the packages you attempted to install using rpm-4.4 or later. Packages are at ftp://jbj.org/pub/rpm-4.4.x If both of the above attempts succeed, then this is almost surely the problem I refer to.
I have deleted the __* files and tried to install the package again (rpm -i) with the same error (Segmentation Fault). When trying to install the rpm-4.4 packages they need libneon.so.25, but afaik the latest developer version is 24 ......
This install WORKSFORME.
Could you please point out where to find libneon.so.25 ??????
