From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726 Netscape6/6.1 Description of problem: I have just upgraded a machine from RH 5.2 to RH 7.1. After the install everything works OK, except on running rhn_gegister as root after a second or two, it core dumps. Nothing appears except for the core dump message. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rhn_register 2. 3. Actual Results: [root@pt-ftp rhn]# rhn_register Segmentation fault (core dumped) Additional info:
hmm. Havent seen this before. segfaults in python generally indicate an error in loading one of the libraries that one of the python modules link to. Of course, thats alot of stuff, so doesnt narrow the search down any. Does python itself run? just typing: python and seeing if the intrepeter starts up. ctrl-d to exit that process. Does rpm seem to work correctly on the box? Could you send me the output of `rpm -qa `? Not exactly where to start looking for this one.
Created attachment 36181 [details] Output of 'rpm -qa' as requested
[root@pt-ftp /root]# python Python 1.5.2 (#1, Mar 3 2001, 01:35:43) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2 on linux-i386 Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam >>> [root@pt-ftp /root]# I have attached rpm-qa which is the output of 'rpm -qa'. rpm seems to work fine, I can add and delete packahes OK. I have been doing some testing in the last day or so, and I think I have narrowed it down to a line in /usr/share/rhn/register/rhnreg.py.If I comment out the line 'import rpm' then it doesn't core dump, but then it failes with a message about ssl, which I assume is related to the missing import.

I have installed the latest rhn_register and up2date updates and removed glint from the machine and rhn_register now works. You can close this now. Thanks Tim
