I'm stumped. In general, everything is fine - except for those times I
update one of those "don't ever update that" kinds of packages, but
everything re-aligns eventually :) (It's more fun this way.)
However, for the last several weeks, rpm has problems with certain
packages. When I try to install kdebase (pretty much any thing since
2.2beta1.1), galeon, kdegames, draktools, nautilus and a few others, rpm
dies with a generic "memory fault". It doesn't matter how much
debugging output I use, it just dies in the "Preparation" section. I've
rebuilt the db several times, the last time by removing all the rpm
databases execpt for Packages (including the __* files) before the
rebuild, but it always happens on the exact same files, at about the
exact same hash mark in the Preparation stage.
strace show that it is a SIGSEGV while doing a munmap, but that doesn't
help me. Maybe some library issue?
Does anybody have any ideas where I need to look to figure this one out,
or give better information?
Thanks,
Lonnie Borntreger
