Re: [opensuse] Zypper segmentation fault

Greetings to the list

This is my first post, so please forgive me for not describing correctly the
situation. My home workstation (OpenSuSE 10.3 32bit) has been receiving fairly
regularly, albeit manually (every 2-3 days) the official updates, except for the kernel related
ones. I admit having several OBS repositories enabled, as well as Packman,
Gtk:STABLE and KDE:Backports. I try to be careful about updating major
infrastructure, always checking the list of packages to be upgraded or
installed, refreshing the repos before any updating takes place,
not using any updaterapplet and going mostly through yast2. Yesterday, trying
to launch any software management app through yast resulted in the window
taken down. Trying the cli greeted me with this:

PENTIUM:/var/log # zypper lr
Repository 'openSUSE BuildService - Wine CVS Builds' is up to date.
Segmentation fault

disabling wine repo just confirmed that the next one is ok before spitting out
the segfault. Trying through yast again gave this xmessage:

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/repositories.ycp:761
/sbin/yast2: line 386: 12277 Segmentation fault $ybindir/y2base $module
"$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2QT_ARGS

I recall tha a recent wxGTK update wrecked havoc over my gtk2 using apps, but
only those alone. Manually donwgrading solved most of the problem, which
anyway should be unrelated (?). All this before yesterday.
Rebuilding the rpm database did no good. Logfiles do not show anything useful
to my (ignorant) eyes. Googling did not help much. I really don't know how to go about
troubleshooting zypper, zypplib or whatever is being used. Other components of
Yast2 work fine.

PENTIUM:/var/log # uname -r
2.6.22.19-0.1-default

zypper 0.8.26
RPM version :4.4.2
qt3 version :3.3.8

Any pointers will be welcome. Info upon request. Thanks in advance.


I'll bet you have installed a qt or gtk package that is incompatible with Yast.
Disable any of the qt and gtk repositories, then you will need to rpm -Uvh
--force install the qt and gtk rpms to downgrade to the latest 10.3 versions.

Search the mailing list archives for all my posts from Jan. 22 2009 with
subject "Yast Seg Faulting on Fresh 11.0 i386 Install" and you will be able to
find Anders answer to the problem.
