I upgraded a bunch of packages on my machine last night to Raw Hide or Skipjack versions: * Upgraded: GConf ImageMagick SysVinit XFree86-100dpi-fonts XFree86 XFree86-75dpi-fonts XFree86-Xvfb XFree86-base-fonts XFree86-devel XFree86-doc XFree86-font-utils XFree86-libs XFree86-tools XFree86-truetype-fonts XFree86-twm XFree86-xf86cfg XFree86-xfs Xconfigurator arts bind bind-utils bison chkconfig control-center cpp docbook-dtds dump elinks emacs emacs-el enscript gawk gcc gcc-c++ gettext gimp gimp-devel gimp-perl glibc glibc-common glibc-debug glibc-debug-static glibc-devel glibc-profile glibc-utils gnome-core gnome-print gnome-vfs grep gzip hwdata imlib initscripts intltool iproute iputils kdegames kdelibs kernel-utils kmidi libao libgcc libgnomeprint15 librep libstdc++ libstdc++-devel libxml2 man-pages mozilla mozilla-nspr mozilla-nss mozilla-psm mpg321 mtr mtr-gtk netatalk newt ntsysv openssh openssh-askpass openssh-askpass-gnome openssh-clients openssh-server openssl openssl-devel pam_krb5 passwd patchutils popt procmail psacct qt qt2 rmt rpm rpm-build rpmdb-redhat samba samba-client samba-common timeconfig traceroute ttfm unzip xine xpdf xscreensaver zip. One of them left a turd called "/.memdump" on my hard drive. It's difficult to determine exactly which package did this, but I think it's docbook-dtds. The modification time on the file is Sun Mar 24 22:37:30 2002. The install date on docbook-dtds is Sun 24 Mar 2002 10:37:28 PM EST, and the next install date after that is Sun 24 Mar 2002 10:37:44 PM EST, for the "passwd" package.
If it's caused by upgrading docbook-dtds then it's from xmlcatalog. Daniel, any ideas?
'Red Hat Raw Hide' refers to the development tree for Red Hat Linux. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues were not resolved in a more timely manner. However, we do want to make sure that important don't slip through the cracks. If these issues are still present in a current release, such as Fedora Core 5, please move these bugs to that product and version. Note that any remaining Red Hat Raw Hide bugs will be closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help.
It was a temporary error, libxml2 was compiled with debug switched on in the shipped RPM, long time closed ! Daniel
