When trying to build a noarch package, rpm fails with segmentation fault. Repeat e.g. by: # rpm -ba redhat-release.spec Executing: %install + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + mkdir -p /var/tmp/redhat-release-root/etc + echo Red Hat Linux release 6.0 (Hedwig) + exit 0 Segmentation fault (core dumped) Upgrading to rpm-3.0.1-12.6.0.i386.rpm from ftp.rpm.org fixes the problem, so it would be probably a good idea to include it in the errata and updates.
An errata for rpm will be issued soon.
