Description Nils Philippsen 2003-01-02 04:21:18 EST

Description of problem:

As the subject says, when I try to upgrade to glibc-common-2.3.1-26 (from -25),
rpm segfaults even before finishing dependency checks:

Same thing with XFree86-devel-4.2.99.3-20021230.0.i386.rpm (from
XFree86-devel-4.2.99.2-0.20021217.0)

This seems to have been introduced with release 0.45:
