Description Michael Stella 2005-11-10 16:10:45 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
When trying to up2date I got:

	Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-4...

	Fetching rpm headers...
	*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x0a17faec
***
	Aborted

The pointer address changes each time (0x0a17faec)...

In the /var/log/up2date I get :

	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:20 2005] up2date updating login info
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:20 2005] up2date logging into up2date server
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:24 2005] up2date successfully retrieved authentication token from up2date server
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:24 2005] up2date availablePackageList from network
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:24 2005] up2date Unable to import repomd support so repomd support will not be available

I mv'ed all the file's in /var/spool/up2date and tried updating again - and it worked as expected.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.4.50-4

How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Havent tried - but I assume if I mv the files back to /var/spool/up2date 
2.It may crash again. I still have the files.
3.
