Heya Do #strace rpm -Uvh thatrpm.rpm and see where does it get stuck
Usually it's 'cuz package wants to update the files that are not in there (rpm db, etc) and are not used in your version of rpm Upgrading to the newer(est) rpm usually fixes the problem. I had the same problem when i was using rpm from rh 7.0 to compile packages from 7.3 and they were all segfaulting on me till i upgraded to the rpm used in 7.3 Let me know if this helps :) On Friday 25 October 2002 00:18, Gareth Walters wrote: > G'day all, > > I have successfully managed to get rpm building an rpm of my source > but when I go to install it rpm Seg faults and dumps a core. > > How can it happily build the RPM then die when installing it? > > Has anyone see this problem before does anyone have any > idea what I may have done to cause this? > > TIA > > ----Gareth Walters -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
