Description of problem: Yum segfaults during update of system installed from CD. It crashes when upgrading glibc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum 3.0 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install system 2. upgrade by 'yum update' Actual results: yum segfaults on glibc Expected results: yum should upgrade glibc without problem Additional info: n/a
Versions: yum-3.0-6 yum-metadata-parser-1.0-8.fc6 glibc-2.5-3 glibc-2.5-18.fc6
Is glibc the only thing in the update transaction when the segfault occurs? Can you recreate the segfault consistently? If you can do the above does it happen when you run rpm -Uvh on the same set of packages?
I'd say this is yet another dupe of #213963, FC6 freshly installed from CD has a kernel with the mmap-bug-of-death that causes segfaults with rpm all over the place.
I didn't have change to access that machine yet, I will over the weekend. Regarding the bug #213963 from Panu, I can agree that it's the same problem. I mark this bug as a duplicate of #213963 and will continue the troubleshooting there if needed. Thank you Seth and Panu.
