Description Michael Romero 2006-05-15 15:02:00 UTC
Description of problem:
Recently, whenever I try and run up2date on one of my hosts - I get a 
segmentation violation..  I do not believe it is a connectivity issue because I 
am able to successfully re-register with RHN.  Here is a cut-n-paste of up2date 
output..
[root@vq2xr001 rpm]# up2date -l

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3...

Fetching rpm headers...
Segmentation fault############
[root@vq2xr001 rpm]

[root@vq2xr001 rpm]# up2date -u

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3...

Fetching rpm headers...
Segmentation fault############
[root@vq2xr001 rpm]#

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@vq2xr001 rpm]# rpm -qa | grep -i up2date

rpmdb-redhat-3-0.20050921

2. or run "up2date -u"
