Hello, I have a 10.2 system that refuses to install updates :-( zypper aborts with the message rpmdb: malloc: Cannot allocate memory: 4278 and YOU also simply crashes. Any ideas what could cause this? (Google was not helpful when searching for the error message...) RAM and disk space should not be an issue: # df -h Dateisystem Größe Benut Verf Ben% Eingehängt auf /dev/md0 5,0G 1,5G 3,3G 31% / udev 1006M 128K 1006M 1% /dev /dev/sda2 114M 8,6M 100M 8% /boot /dev/sdb2 114M 34M 75M 31% /boot2 /dev/md2 5,0G 545M 4,2G 12% /var /dev/md4 254G 1,5G 240G 1% /home # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2011 1673 338 0 55 1173 -/+ buffers/cache: 444 1567 Swap: 0 0 0 I also tried rpm --rebuilddb, which didn't change anything. Log files on request - I'm not sure which one would be useful in this case. Interestingly, this happens only on one system. Some other machines with nearly identical configuration work well...
