I ran "apt-get upgrade" recently (on two different boxes), which downloaded about 25Mb of RPMs (each), then started on the installation and upgrading of existing/new RPMs. Immediately on trying this, the script crashed (on both boxes) with this error: E: Sub-process /bin/rpm recieved a segmentation fault. I've search this issue in Google, no luck. :( Can someone shed some light leading to the solution of this problem? I'm using SuSE 8.2 Pro, KDE 3.14, also... linux:/ # rpm -q rpm rpm-3.0.6-478 linux:/ # rpm -q apt apt-0.5.5cnc6-rb3 Thanks in advance, -- Sergio Espinoza Dien linux@sergioespinoza.com http://www.sergioespinoza.com/ http://www.xtremecode.net/ Linux User #328168 *Delivered by Kmail

Greetings, Although its no the best option, because there are several packages to install, the one on one instalation seems to be doing well so far.
