All programs, ie up2date, helix-gnome updater, gnorpm fail with the
following error "error in loading shared librarys undefined symbol fdio"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insalled new db3 programs on updated 6.2 system (current)
2.Install rpm 4.0.2-6x
3. did a rpm --rebuilddb . Then checked /var/lib/rpm to make sure
files are laid out as expected 
Try running gnorpm, or helix update 

	

Actual Results:  segfault on x based programs
error on shared libraries in command line

Comment 1 Andrew Ferguson 2001-03-24 20:47:30 UTC
I am also having problems with the rpm-4.0.2-6x upgrade for RedHat 6.2 (I have
db3 installed). When I try to do `rpm --rebuilddb` (as specified in the
redhat-watch mail about this update), I get the following error:

rpmdb: header.c:511: headerLoad: Assertion `rdlen == dl' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

A backtrace on the core produces:

I have the following versions installed:
rpm-4.0.2-6x
db3-3.1.17-4.6x

This bug is a real pain as even a simple `rpm -qa` dies with the above error.
Thanks.

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2001-03-25 15:52:21 UTC
The segfault is being caused by data in your database.

Try "rpm --rebuilddb -vv" and try removing the last package displayed.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2001-03-25 20:23:35 UTC
Well that last comment took care of the rpm problem for me. But did not take 
care of any depencency's on the librarys. Like gnomerpm while i know redhat is 
not responsible for the gnome rpm. They should at least compile all programs 
that will be affected by the library change. Or at least post what will be 
affected by them.

Comment 4 Andrew Ferguson 2001-03-25 23:10:57 UTC
Thanks for the tip. Removing the last package didn't solve it, but by examaning
the database file I was able to discover the package afterwards and remove it by
downgrading my rpm, removing the package, rebuilding the database, upgrading to
rpm-4.0.2, rebuilding the database again, and reinstalling the package. The
problem was that I had the dev package installed twice in my database for some
reason (versions 2.7.7 and 2.7.18). Again, thanks for the tip. Everything works
fine now.

Comment 5 Need Real Name 2001-03-26 12:12:59 UTC
I downloaded gnorpm-0.95.1-5.6x.i386.rpm installed it to make sure I was 
current. Still get the shared library error undefined symbol fdio I hope to
get the people over at helix-gnome on getting their system compatable with the 
new libraries too.

Errata for gnorpm/ucd-snmp to work with rpm-4.0.2 on Red Hat 6.x will be along
shortly.

Comment 15 Gilbert E. Detillieux 2001-03-28 23:07:49 UTC
ucd-snmp-utils was not included in the updates (nor was the devel package),
but the previous utils don't work for the same reason as the daemon, i.e. due
to the change in librpm.so.

Will ucd-snmp-utils also be issued as an update RPM, or do we have to recompile
from the SRPM if we really need it?

Comment 16 Jeff Johnson 2001-03-29 14:28:55 UTC
The errata for ucd-snmp has been repushed with the devel/utils packages as well.
Thanks for reporting.
