           Summary: suse.de-backup-rpmdb crashes machine
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Basesystem
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: edv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The command

# cat /var/lib/rpm/Packages | md5sum

immediately resets my machine. No shutdown procedure whatsoever, just beep and
restart like I hit the reset button.

This is bad, as this command is part of the script

/etc/cron.daily/suse.de-backup-rpmdb 


# rpm -qf /usr/bin/md5sum
coreutils-6.4-10

It worked in the past (when first installed from DVD), so some update must have
broken it. It works on another machine (with a newer CPU). What also works, is
replacing "NEW_MD5="`cat /var/lib/rpm/$PACKAGEDBFILE | md5sum`" with
"NEW_MD5="`md5sum /var/lib/rpm/$PACKAGEDBFILE`" as a workaround.

Maybe this md5sum uses some feature my processor doesn´t support? Cpu is a
Pentium III (Coppermine).
