From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2.1) Gecko/20010901 Description of problem: I haven't been able to isolate the exact circumstance threshold for the error, but I will attach an SRPM that can reproduce it. The tarball inside the SRPM is a binary tree of /usr/local/apache for Apache 1.3.24. Also attached are a script output, an strace, and a gdb backtrace. From the looks of the backtrace, it has something to do with the nobody:nobody "proxy" directory: Processing files: reproduce-20020328-1 (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. strcmp (p1=0x0, p2=0x8077f98 "nobody") at ../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c:38 38 ../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c: No such file or directory. in ../sysdeps/generic/strcmp.c though something else contributes to the segfault, because if I remove everything except the "proxy" directory, it works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ivh reproduce-20020328-1.src.rpm 2. rpm -ba reproduce.spec Actual Results: Last few lines: apache/include/os.h apache/include/os-inline.c apache/logs/ apache/proxy/ + exit 0 Executing(%install): /bin/sh -e /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.53088 + umask 022 + cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-compress + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-strip-comment-note Processing files: reproduce-20020328-1 Segmentation fault Expected Results: No segfault, build the RPM package.

Have you tried with rpm-4.0.4?
IRK, forgot about this ticket. Yeah, upgrading helped; I thought that machine had the latest version.
