From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: During upgrade process (from kernel-2.4.2-2) the following error message is returned: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.53825: line 1: 4231 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/sbin/module_upgrade 'rpm -V kernel-2.4.3-12' returns no messages 'rpm -q kernel-2.4.3-12' returns 'kernel-2.4.3-12' The new kernel boots and all services appear to run. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e --allmatches --justdb --nodeps kernel-2.4.3-12 2. rpm -ivh --justdb kernel-2.4.3-12.i386.rpm 3. Actual Results: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39096: line 1: 4255 Segmentation fault (core dumped) /usr/sbin/module_upgrade Expected Results: No error message. Additional info: I noticed this same type of error when upgrading the kernel. I tried several time, but finally re-booted the system and it worked. I subsequently noticed multiple 'kernel-2.4.3-12' entries using 'rpm -q kernel-2.4.3-12'. I then executed the commands above to remove the multiple entries from the database and re-install.
This is (or was) a problem with /usr/sbin/module_upgrade. Adding --noscripts with "rpm -ivh" would probably avoid the problem. I don't see any way to reproduce this problem, hence WONTFIX.
