Hmmm, this smells like
- fix: dangling pointer brain fart (#107835).
See bugzilla #107835 for details.
Workaround when seeing segfault is
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/Pubkeys
which is a brutal but simple way of specifying --nosignature everywhere.
Repeat the command.
If removing Pubkeys "fixes" the segfault, then this is likely to be #107835.
The dangling ptr problem is fixed in rpm-4.2.2-0.8 and later.
