[Haifux] rpm segfault
Hi, I am running mandrake 8.1, and practicly anything I do with rpm ends in a segmentation fault. I have managed installing a few packages with urpmi successfully but when I try installing external packages with rpm I get a segmentation fault. also when trying to remove packages rpm -e I get a seg-fault. when installing/updating dependency checking and preperation of the packages work fine and after that it fails. I have tried rpm --rebuilddb which didn't do any good. I have tried installing/removing several freeciv rpms and several mysql rpms all had the same results. while urpmi still works fine. what does urpmi do diffrently? how does one debug rpm? (I would rather avoide compiling rpm with debug symbols and debugging it as one of my own) ideas are welcome.
