Description of Problem: librpm aborts making impossible to build reliable applications with it How Reproducible: use rpm2html to index some broken RPM like egcs-c++-1.1b-2.sparc.rpm from the libc6 Sparc contrib I assume rpm(1) will do the same Steps to Reproduce: 1. get the broken RPM 2. run rpm under gdb 3. put a breakpoint in exit and run it on the RPM Actual Results: this with rpm2html: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0x401c8801 in __kill () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0x401c8801 in __kill () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6 #1 0x401c85da in raise (sig=6) at ../sysdeps/posix/raise.c:27 #2 0x401c9d82 in abort () at ../sysdeps/generic/abort.c:88 #3 0x401c1cca in __assert_fail () at assert.c:60 #4 0x4009b645 in headerLoad () from /usr/lib/librpm.so.0 #5 0x4009c1b4 in headerRead () from /usr/lib/librpm.so.0 #6 0x400a56fc in readPackageHeaders () from /usr/lib/librpm.so.0 #7 0x400a5980 in rpmReadPackageHeader () from /usr/lib/librpm.so.0 #8 0x0804c9bc in rpmOpen (nameRpm=0x809379b "egcs-c++-1.1b-2.sparc.rpm", dir=0x808bf48, tree=0x80932e0) at rpmopen.c:949 #9 0x0804cdbd in rpmOneDirScan (dir=0x808bf48, tree=0x80932e0) at rpmopen.c:1174 #10 0x0804cf50 in rpmDirScan (dir=0x808bf48, tree=0x807ec48) at rpmopen.c:1233 #11 0x0804d331 in rpmDirScanOneDir ( directory=0xbffff91e "/serveur/ftp/linux/contrib/libc6/sparc") at rpmopen.c:1382 #12 0x0804a811 in main (argc=4, argv=0xbffff79c) at rpm2html.c:175 #13 0x401b7177 in __libc_start_main (main=0x804a340 <main>, argc=4, ubp_av=0xbffff79c, init=0x8049a14 <_init>, fini=0x80602c0 <_fini>, rtld_fini=0x4000e184 <_dl_fini>, stack_end=0xbffff78c) at ../sysdeps/generic/libc-start.c:129 (gdb) r Expected Results: a failure of the rpmReadPackageHeader() call Additional Information:
Should be mostly fixed in rpm-4.0.3-0.24 and later. There may still be some obscure pathways that fail with bad data on assert, so please reopen with a test case if you find such a pathway, and I'll get that pathway fixed as well.
