Ever since I upgraded rpm itself to rpm-4.0-31mdk, querries work fine
but any attempt to install/upgrade a package is met with a core dump.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? As an aside, how does one fix things
when rpm itself breaks?
# rpm -q rpm popt perl
rpm-4.0-31mdk
popt-1.6-31mdk
perl-5.600-30mdk
# rpm -i /tmp/plugger-3.2-7mdk.i586.rpm
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
