From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Sympton: rpm exits with error - "Segmentation fault" when used with -i or -U. and rpmbuild is the same. current status: it starts working just now. Hey, I DID have that problem since 3 days ago. :-( I thought I should regenerate the error message with -vv option for your convenience. However, it magically recovered. 8-| Solution: I don't know yet. It may be caused by ldap auth, since recently I have been working on ldap auth for PAM, postfix, courier-imap, and samba. maybe some changes I made today, correct the problem? But, but....does rpm request any auth during install or update? wired..... I kept writing instead of quit, because I hope this can help you for future troubleshootings. :-D Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set up ldap auth 2.somehow, mess it up 3.run rpm with either -i or -U options Actual Results: Segmentation fault Expected Results: ..... can not expect much, when it is my own fault.... :-( Additional info:
LDAP passwords? Yes, statically linked binaries like /bin/rpm segfault (or not) depending on whether nscd is running.
