Hmmm … I’d likely concur lack of configuration (and that rpmdb is overly complex). Meanwhile: Is this a segfault or an assertion failure using rpm? I haven’t seen the exact error message …. If the problem is a segfault, then there may be an assertion missing someplace. And if some assertion exit is common (which is likely the case imho) to an out-of-box misconfigured experience, perhaps an exit by invoking an opaque script to display a per-platform tuned message might assist. Of course the opaque script generation through AutoFu may just introduce Yet Mode Configuration failures, sigh. Is the problem a segfault or an assertion failure? 73 de Jeff > --anders______________________________________________________________________ > RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org > User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org ______________________________________________________________________ RPM Package Manager http://rpm5.org User Communication List rpm-users@rpm5.org
