Package: rpm Version: 4.4.1-8 Severity: important
While attempting to build an rpmstrap definition for FC5/PPC, I noticed that the 'rpm' command wasn't doing anything; I tried running rpm manually with the same arguments via strace, and noticed this: open("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/DB_CONFIG", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/__db.001", 0x7ff711c8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/__db.001", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 4 fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 open("/tmp/fc5/var/lib/rpm/__db.001", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, 0644) = 5 fcntl64(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0 _llseek(5, 0, [0], SEEK_END) = 0 _llseek(5, 8192, [8192], SEEK_CUR) = 0 write(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 8192) = 8192 mmap2(NULL, 16384, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 5, 0) = 0x3001a000 close(5) = 0 gettimeofday({1145813523, 525296}, NULL) = 0 select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 1000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 2000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 4000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 8000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 16000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout) select(0, NULL, NULL, NULL, {0, 25000}) = 0 (Timeout) .... which it then continues on with infinitely. I tried with another, similar package (the setup package for FC4 instead of the one for FC5), with the same results. Downgrading to the 4.4.1-7 rpm and librpm4 packages got me going again, but this is a real showstopper. I can provide more strace output or similar if needed; please let me know what more I can supply. -- Derrik Pates [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages rpm depends on: ii libbeecrypt6 4.1.2-4 open source C library of cryptogra ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-2 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii librpm4 4.4.1-8 RPM shared library ii libselinux1 1.30-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8a-8 SSL shared libraries ii perl 5.8.8-4 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime rpm recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
