From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: rpm -i gets a segment fault. Repeatable. After rpm --rebuilddb, the installation works. The segment violation looks to be a malloc arena corruption: See the GDB log under additional information. I do not remember the machine ever crashing during an RPM operation so I don't know why the database would be corrupted. I'm using the ext3 filesystem with the default configuration. rpm --checksig and -qlp were both happy with the rpm, even with the corrupt database. I did not try installing other rpms. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RPM version 4.1E How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -i ... 2. 3. Actual Results: Segment fault Expected Results: rpm installed Additional info: [root@redsky freeswan-2.00-rc2]# gdb /bin/rpm GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (5.2.1-4) Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Can you provide a pointer to the freswan package?
www.freeswan.org is the main web page. ftp://ftp.xs4all.nl/pub/crypto/freeswan/development/freeswan-2.00-rc2.tar.gz* there does not seem to be an rpm distribution there, but it is fairly easy to build (need not be root!): - get tar & check signature - unpack; cd into directory - make -C packaging/redhat KERNELSRC=/usr/src/linux??? rpm - two binary rpms will appear in packaging/redhat/rpms/RPMS/i386 I could ship you the RPM file that I actually used. I still have it. I built it this way. Size is 892846 bytes.
Can you give me a pointer to your package? Thanks.
OK, I've placed it here: ftp://ftp.cs.utoronto.ca/pub/hugh/freeswan/freeswan-module-2.00_rc2_2.4.18_24.8.0-0.i386.rpm
Your freeswan-module package installs for me without segfaulting. You might try the latest rpm-4.2-0.70 packages at ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/test-4.2 If that doesn't fix the segfault, I'm going to need some other factor to try to reproduce this problem.
