-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks - Summary: Attempting to rpm -e a package causes a very fast ramp in memory usage to >2G according to top, machine swaps itself into a frenzy and eventually fails with a message like Malloc reurned NULL for 4 (or 12 sometimes) bytes. This is with Fedora's rpm-4.3-0.14 on a machine with 1GB of real memory. Are there any suggestions for debugging what is going on? I have tried deleting the __db.* guys and rpm --rebuilddb, no difference. Some background: the package being erased is a foreign kernel-source RPM that I wanted to examine the contents of. It had an unfulfilled dependency (something like c_compiler) which I --forced into submission, since I only wanted to examine the sources and not compile them. - -Andy - -- Find your answer without waiting for replies....
