[EMAIL PROTECTED] graydon]# rpm -q bash bash-2.05b-20 Segmentation fault [...]
I was bitten by this bug too. For now I downgraded to rpm-4.2-0.70. Because rpm was broken, I did the following.
mkdir temp cd temp rpm2cpio ../rpm-4.2-0.70.i386.rpm | cpio --extract -d I copied the binaries over to the system, overwriting the binaries from rpm-4.2-0.71. What seemed to stop it from crashing was replacing the files in /usr/lib/.
After doing the same thing for popt, I used:
rpm -Uvh rpm*0.70*.i386.rpm popt*0.70.i386.rpm --oldpackage
Same problem here with rpm-4.2-0.71; no way to install or uninstall anything, and everything on top of RPM (apt-get, synaptic, Red Hat package management etc.) is broken, also.
The procedure you described works, but doesn't solve the segfault problem for me, I'm still getting a segmentation fault (resp. 'Speicherzugriffsfehler' in the German version) after overwriting the files in /usr/lib and /usr/bin with the extracted versions.
I tried to boot from the rescue CD and install rpm-build-4.2-0.70.i386.rpm, but this wasn't possible either.
Any other ideas instead of 'reinstall OS' (at least this worked always under Windows ;)? Is there any low-level equivalent to Debian's dpkg for RPM?
