I up2dated completely an AS 2.1 box yesterday, and now I can't install new rpm's or rebuild the rpm database. I always get segmentation faults. For example: rpm -ivh VMware-workstation-4.0.0-4460.i386.rpm Preparing... Segmentation fault rpmdb --rebuilddb *** dbiUpdateRecord: uh is NULL Segmentation fault Before the up2date, rpm worked fine. I'll e-mail a copy of my /var/lib/rpm db.
FIxed.
After installing the fix, I can install rpm's again. But, running up2date gives me the following error: up2date -u Error communicating with server. The message was: Error Message: Your account does not have access to any channels matching (release='8.0.93', arch='i686-redhat-linux') Error Class Code: 19 Error Class Info: Architecture and OS version combination is not supported.

I think that this bug may be due to the Packages file that Jeff sent me. I did a search through that file, and I see a string in it that reads, "redhat-release^@8.0.93^"
I also wonder if the rpm Package file lists all the right rpm's. For example: /root/>rpm -q make make-3.79.1-17 /root/>which make /usr/bin/which: no make in (/opt/resin/2.1.8/bin:/opt/apps/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin:/opt/apps/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib:/opt/apps/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin:/opt/ap\ ps/oracle/product/9.2.0/ctx/lib:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_0\ 8/bin:/root/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_08/bin)
reassigning to jeff, as this doesn't seem to be an rhn but an rpm problem
seems fixed now, at least the up2date error, closing
Reopened bug while waiting for fixed AS 2.1 rpm Packages db
WONTFIX in the sense that no AS 2.1 change for rpm is currently planned.
