Two things. 1) Verify the package with: rpm -K webmin-1.030-1.noarch.rpm That should give "md5 OK" or something equivalent. If the package is signed and you don't have the necessary public key installed, add option --nosignature (for Red Hat Linux 8.0, for older versions add - --nosig). If the package is damaged, make a backup and keep that one, so the segmentation fault can be reproduced later. Download the package again until it verifies fine. 2) RPM should not cause a segfault, regardless of whether the package contents may be damaged. A segfault is evidence that RPM doesn't apply enough sanity checks on its input data. I don't know whether Jeff Johnson will like it, but _if_ your installation of RPM is working (e.g. with other packages) and _if_ this segfault is reproducible with RPM on Red Hat Linux 8.0, I would report it at https://bugzilla.redhat.com and remember to provide the bad package. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9zBpy0iMVcrivHFQRAqYVAJ9kwu7RhTW+qBEwt0PpkkHMQyB9jACfUjQB 2fZ2mURhjudopq5cMxiHyow= =24lY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
