Hi,
My rpm command segfaults when installing Mesa (and only that rpm that I know):
nimrodel:~ # rpm --verbose --upgrade Mesa-6.4.2-19.12.i586.rpm Preparing packages for installation... Segmentation fault
When rpm segfaults, the first thing to try is rpm --rebuilddb
It doesn't say why it segfaults, so I thought I would install rpm-debug, thinking that it would produce a coredump, perhaps. But Yast complains (hand copied):
You can get a coredump without the debug rpm, by setting "ulimit -c unlimited" before running the crashing command. You need the -debuginfo rpm to get some sensible, readable information from that coredump
This would invalidate atom:rpm-...
| atom:rpm-4.4.2-43.4.i586 has unfulfilled requirements
- Conflict Resolution O delete rpm delete atom: rpm-4.4.2-43.4.i586
Obviously, I can't delete that package without hossing my system. What do I do?
Well, not so obvious. the -debug rpm has the same functionality, except with debugging enabled. So you wouldn't be just deleting it, you would be replacing it But you don't need to -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
