Description jdalbec 2000-02-03 04:44:08 UTC
$ python
>>> import rpm
segfaults.  I have reproduced this with the latest
python...rpm and rpm-python...rpm from rawhide.
There does not appear to be a more recent version of glint.
This makes the update agent unusable.
I'm filing this against glint b/c
$ rpm -q --file /usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload/rpm.so
glint-2.6.2-1

strace indicates the most recent system call reads
/usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc in one gulp.

glint will not work with rpm-3.0, period. Your best bet
is to remove that shared object; if you want to use
python RPM bindings, use the rpm-python module.
