[opensuse-factory] temporary segfault with zypper & yast
a strange thing happened today: trying to update all newer packages via YAST, the software manager, after solving all dependency problems, started to download for a second, then exited w/o error. "zypper up" brought up a new agreement form for an oS 11.4 licence, then segfaulted. no help in zypper.log or y2log, but /var/log/messages had this to say: ----------- Dec 9 11:29:12 phani kernel: [ 3610.153426] zypper[17239] general protection ip:7f953c30ca6f sp:7fff67f49d50 error:0 in libcurl.so.4.2.0[7f953c2e2000+5a000] ----------- i re-tried several times, after successfully running "zypper ref -f" and "rpmdb --rebuilddb", with the same result: segfault. finally i thought there might be something wrong with one of the factory repos, so i disabled OSS & non-OSS, after which both zypper up & yast updated their new packages w/o problem. next thing i enabled OSS and then non-OSS again, and no further error happened. updates from OSS included rpm and rpm-python, but since there have not been any changes to the rpm system prior to the error, i don't think that's relevant. in any case, things are working ok for me again; i'm just wondering what did happen, and if it happened to other factory users as well? for now i'm assuming it was a temporary glitch while the repos were being updated. -- phani. system info: ----------- Processor (CPU): Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz Speed: 3,600.00 MHz Cores: 2 Total memory (RAM): 3.1 GiB Free memory: 22.1 MiB (+ 1.7 GiB Caches) Free swap: 8.5 GiB OS: Linux 2.6.37-rc4-13-desktop x86_64 Current user: phani@phani System: openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 4 of 6 (x86_64) (updated from /factory/repo) KDE: 4.5.80 (4.6 Beta1) Vendor: nVidia Corporation Model: GeForce 9400 GT 2D driver: nvidia 3D driver: NVIDIA 260.19.26 ----------- repos: ----------- phani:/home/phani # zypper lr -d # | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh | Priority | Type | URI | Service ---+----------------------------+----------------------------+---------+---------+----------+--------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------- 1 | KDE-extra | KDE-extra | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/openSUSE_Factory/ | 2 | Kernel-HEAD | Kernel-HEAD | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/ | 3 | XOrg | XOrg | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Factory/ | 4 | dev-lang-python | dev-lang-python | No | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE_... | 5 | factory-OSS | factory-OSS | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/ | 6 | factory-SRC-OSS | factory-SRC-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/src-oss/ | 7 | factory-SRC-non-OSS | factory-SRC-non-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/src-non-oss/ | 8 | factory-debug | factory-debug | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/debug/ | 9 | factory-non-OSS | factory-non-OSS | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/non-oss/ | 10 | factory-tested_OSS | factory-tested_OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/oss | 11 | factory-tested_SRC | factory-tested_SRC | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/source | 12 | factory-tested_SRC-non-OSS | factory-tested_SRC-non-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/source-non-oss | 13 | factory-tested_debug | factory-tested_debug | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/debug | 14 | factory-tested_non-OSS | factory-tested_non-OSS | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/factory-tested/repo/non-oss | 15 | games | games | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_Factory/ | 16 | google-chrome | google-chrome | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64 | 17 | mozilla-beta | mozilla-beta | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/beta/SUSE_Factory/ | 18 | openSUSE_Factory | education | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/openSUSE_Factory/ | 19 | packman-DE | packman-DE | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://mirror.geht-schon.de/packman.links2linux.de/suse/factory/ | 20 | repo-non-oss | openSUSE-11.4-Non-Oss | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/non-oss/ | 21 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.4-Oss | No | No | 99 | yast2 | http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/ | 22 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.4-Update | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/ | 23 | skype | skype | No | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/Lord_LT/openSUSE_Factory/ | 24 | video-lan | video-lan | Yes | Yes | 110 | rpm-md | http://download.videolan.org/pub/vlc/SuSE/Factory/ | 25 | window_managers | window managers | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/windowmanagers/openSUSE_Facto... | 26 | xfce | xfce | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/xfce/openSUSE_Factory/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The crash was in "curl" apparently, so during the downloading, so its not the repo or rpm state, but something in the download magic I suspect. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

thanks; i'm not really clear about what might have gone wrong in the "download magic," but unless it happens again i won't try to figure this out any further. there's quite some things going on during repo updates these days, with multiple connections to (possibly) multiple mirrors, and my internet connection is not reliable at all -- not hard to imagine that things can go wrong at times. good to know it's not the repos though. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You're probably using libzypp-8.8.0, the bug was fixed in 8.8.1, which was not submitted to factory for some unknown reason. The current version is 8.10.1.

The current version is 8.10.1. correct; my version of libzypp is 8.8.0-2.3. sooner or later factory will get a newer version, right? -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
