May I guess that the particular machine where this fails is the same machine where you keep getting "cannot get exclusive lock on ..." errors? Is there any possibility that somebody at your place has compiled his/her own version of rpm and left it lying on the machine? I suggest that you do rpm -V rpm, and report any output. Also report the output of $ id $ rpm -q rpm $ type rpm $ type -P rpm $ md5sum /bin/rpm $ md5sum $(type -P rpm) # (if different) $ cat /proc/version $ uname -s -r -m You could also consider doing $ ltrace -o /tmp/rpm.ltrace -f rpm -i YourRelocatable.rpm first on the machine where your get the segfault, and see what were the last things the program where doing before it crached. If this does not indicate anything, you could repeat it on a machine where the install is successful (after first doing rpm -e), and compare the two output files. I guess it will take some effort to determine what differences are significant, but if you are otherwise stuck, this is a very powerful tool. When posting, I believe you have a better chance of getting interesting responses if you are more generous with information about the machines and other involved factors. As it is, we have very little to go on. As you have seen, I have searched the rpm sources for answers to your questions, but I still do not know if I read the source for the right version of rpm :-(.
