Description Peter H.S. 2001-03-23 06:46:13 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-0.1.28 i686; en-US; 0.7)

When I try to view the files within a rpm or tar.gz package, from "(KDE)
Package Manager" (KPackage), it crashes with a SIGSEGV message.
It does not matter, what rpm-version the rpm-package was packed with.
(tar.gz packages are affected as well). gnorpm and mc are able to browse
the same rpm-packages.

However; KPackage seems to have no problem with actually installing
/upgrading these rpm-packages, as long as one does not try to click on the
rpm-package name, in the KPackage window, to see the content of the package.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Package Manager" from "KDE-Menu" > "System"
2. Select "Open" from the "File" menu.
3. Select a rpm-package from the file-window, and click "Ok"
4. When the rpm-package is loaded into "KPackage", then click on the
rpm-package's name, in the left window-pane.
	

Actual Results:  kpackage crashes.

Expected Results:  When clicking on the name of the rpm-package, "KPackage"
should display the file content of the rpm-archive.


A /usr/bin/kpackage -v , shows:
Qt: 2.3.0
KDE: 2.1-10
KPackage: 2.1

KPackage 2.1 is part of kdeadmin-2.1-5.rpm
I believe that this bug has existed since the release of "wolverine".

rpm version is: rpm-4.0.2-7x.rpm

The first few linies of a backtrace:

Comment 2 Peter H.S. 2001-04-10 10:57:39 UTC
The latest round of updates (KDE: 2.1.1, and KPackage: 2.1.1), have solved the 
crashing problem.
