From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-0.1.28 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010316 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: (no debugging symbols found)...0x40e0cff9 in __wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #0 0x40e0cff9 in __wait4 () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0x40e7ce04 in __DTOR_END__ () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #2 0x404e2378 in KCrash::defaultCrashHandler () at eval.c:41 #3 <signal handler called> #4 0x4069a760 in QGDict::look_string () from /usr/lib/qt-2.3.0/lib/libqt.so.2
