159972 /lib64/libkeyutils.so.1.4Aborted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.14.90-15.2 How reproducible: upgrade glibc-(,common,devel,headers) x86_64, and glibc.i686 to 2.14.90-15.2 version. Try starting Firefox, Google-Chrome or running yum update. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Firefox, Google-Chrome segfault and yum update doesn't work. Expected results: Functional Firefox, Google-Chrome and yum update Additional info:
I cannot reproduce this but I am running i686 version of firefox. Yum update fails for me but after trying for 2-3 hours it turned out it was the latest nss that was put in and pulled out but I managed to update when it was in. Going back to old nss (3.12.10-7) solved the problem. Check also you other updates as well as whether you have all the required glibc architectures.
Hi, it is not only firefox, as I said google-chrome didn't work either, and some other applications couldn't start to, would segfault, unfortunately I cannot remember now which ones. Didn't mention all details due to time shortage. As I needed working environment, I did yum downgrade glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers, and everything is fine now... with KDE at least. Gnome environment became unstable with last updates from updates-testing, but I don't have time to investigate that now. Thanks for responding.
OK...are you using nvidia drivers?
No, intel sandy bridge.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Everything same with 2.14.90-16.
I found this in /var/log/messages after reboot with glibc-2.14.90-16.

Same here. Also, abrt also bugs out (same crash with SIGABRT) because of this when it tries to resolve and send my bugreports. I reverted to glibc 2.14.90-11 to solve this problem for me. Luckily I had the rpms laying about.
