From menu: Operations->Install. Bang. Window disappears.
And .xsession-errors says: gnorpm: error in loading shared libraries: gnorpm: undefined symbol: fdOpen
This problem does not occur with gnorpm-0.9-12 rpm-3.0.4-0.31 I believe it was due to gnorpm being compiled against the wrong version of rpm.
Sorry, I still get it. [tim@turmoil tim]$ rpm -q gnorpm rpm gnorpm-0.9-12 rpm-3.0.4-0.33 (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/gnorpm (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...

One big datapoint I forgot to mention: I hadn't mounted the CD. *Literally*, don't do anything but start GnoRPM, hit install, and select 'Only newer packages'.
This still happens in piglet.
FWIW, can't reproduce with gnorpm-0.9-14 and rpm-3.0.4-0.38
Sorry, but it still happens here with those versions of gnorpm and rpm. Did you try with no CD in the drive?
I can _still_ reproduce this with piglet-0222. 1. Make sure there is no CD-ROM in the drive. 2. Start gnorpm. 3. Hit 'Install'. 4. Change the filter to anything else. I know there is no CD-ROM in the drive, and I know there is supposed to be. But new users _will_ do this!
This no longer happens in the latest build.
