I downloaded the XFree86 from rawhide (XFree86-4.1.0-0.20.0.src.rpm) and
did an rpm -bb after installing the src:
[root@syslang SPECS]# rpm -ba XFree86.spec
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
The segfault happens within a half second.
I also tried -bb, -bp and even the lowly -bl with the same result.
I seem to be able to build other things ok. But now I need guidance to
possible screw myself up in a much worserer way. I'm running rpm-4.0.2-8
which is stock with RH-7.1 and I'm wondering if I can upgrade rpm to the
rpm-4.0.3-0.96 (96!?! This is not instilling confidence.) without
irreversible tragedy.
I tried running gdb on the resulting core and the segfault seems to be
coming from /usr/lib/rpm/rpmb (which I assume is the build stuff). I tried
strace and all I got there was that it happened after a bunch of calls to
gettimeofday.
Other than that, I don't know what I can add. Any suggestions would be
great. I'll make a backup in the meantime. ;-|
