I ran this...
# strace rpm -Uvh ed-0.2-19.i386.rpm
Just before it dies, it says:
read(13, "#\n# /etc/nsswitch.conf\n#\n# An ex"..., 4096) = 1787
read(13, "", 4096) = 0
close(13) = 0
munmap(0x4025d000, 4096)
I already suspected something the nss_ldap or pam_ldap realm since it was
among the last things we had installed. I went into /etc/nsswitch.conf and
removed the "ldap" from the "passwd:" line (the only thing in that file
that we changed). Re-run rpm, and it works fine.
