Not nice :) Try this: - boot single user (init 1) - make sure you have stopped everything related to zmd. Eventually rename /usr/lib/zmd/zmd.exe (I guess, I don't have it installed, unfortunately it's still way too horribly broken to use it). - rm /var/lib/rpm/_db* && rpm --rebuilddb If it still crashes, try running it using strace, e.g.: strace -f -ff -F -e trace=open rpm --rebuilddb In the end, try to do what Anders said: get a core file, install debuginfo rpm package and send the backtrace to rpm maintainers. -- Adi Pircalabu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
