Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 41089
RPM seg fault
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:33:17 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: RPM mysteriously started seg faulting. [pauljohn@dv209s44 SPECS]$ rpm -ba swarm-hdf5-jdk-RH7-2.1.69.spec --target=i686 &> buildswarm69.txt Segmentation fault (core dumped) [pauljohn@dv209s44 SPECS]$ rpm -ba swarm-hdf5-jdk-RH7-2.1.69.spec --target=i686 Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 Segmentation fault (core dumped) [pauljohn@dv209s44 SPECS]$ rpm -ba swarm-hdf5-jdk-RH7-2.1.69.spec Segmentation fault (core dumped) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. I had this same seg fault problem on a RedHat 7.0 system, and because of it I installed RH 7.1 in a clean partition. 2. RPM worked fine, I thought I had escaped the problem. 3. After about one month, how RH 7.1 has the same problem. In the RPM list, Jeff Johnson said "post a bugzilla report and I'll figure it out. Well, here it is!" Actual Results: RPM doesn't work anymore Expected Results: ? Additional info: I can submit the rpm database in an attachment
I tried to attach the rpm database, but got a cgi error from the server:Software error: DBD::Oracle::st execute failed: ORA-01691: unable to extend lob segment BUGZILLA.SYS_LOB0000003839C00008$$ by 715 in tablespace ENG_DATA02 (DBD ERROR: OCILobTrim/OCILobWrite/LOB refetch) at /mnt/raid0/bugzilla/bugzilla/createattachment.cgi line 124. So I've taken the RPM data and put it on my web page http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/linux/rpmdb.tar.gz
This is a build problem, you can disable rpmdb access during build by adding --nodeps. Can you send a pointer to the src rpm you are building so I can try to reproduce?
Dear Jeff: I can't build the srpm, but I did package the source code, icon, and spec file and put them here for you to see: http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.x_RPMSforRH7/swarm-2.1.69.tar.gz I tried building with --nodeps. Got no progress. $ rpm -ba swarm-hdf5-jdk-RH7-2.1.69.spec --target=i686 --nodeps Building target platforms: i686 Building for target i686 Segmentation fault (core dumped) After all this, I find RPM can still do a --rebuild without any errors and rpm -qa still seems to work fine. I have installed one RPM package from somebody else and that was OK too.
OK, I've reproduced the segfault, same problem as bugzilla #36641. AFAIK, the problem is fixed in rpm-4.0.3-0.6, availiable at ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.0.3 probably through Raw Hide as well. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 36641 ***
