Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.4.2-37.el5 How reproducible: remove %_rpmlock_path from macros. And try to remove package. Actual results: segmentation fault Additional info: from lib/rpmlock.c char * t = rpmGenPath(rootdir, rpmlock_path_default, NULL); if (t == NULL || *t == '\0' || *t == '%') t = RPMLOCK_PATH; rpmlock_path = xstrdup(t); t = _free(t); when macros rpmlock_path_default is not defined, t will be equal constant RPMLOCK_PATH. Call free() for constant is not good idea. as solution: - t = RPMLOCK_PATH; + t = strdup(RPMLOCK_PATH);
Fixed in rpm-4.4.8 (at least). UPSTREAM
