[rhn-users] Up2date Aborts

[Stella Michael]

I just wanted to respond to my own post with the solution provided by
Doug Stewart at Lockheed Martin:

"up2date seemed to be keeping all the headers and rpm files in
/var/spool/up2date and the sheer number of files was causing the
segfault.  I cleared out that directory and re-ran up2date and
everything was once again copacetic."

Personally, there weren't many files in that dir - but moving them out
of there fixed everything. Perhaps some sort of corrupted file?

Subject: [rhn-users] Up2date Aborts

Hello!

When I run up2date in any form I get:

	up2date -u

	Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-4...

	Fetching rpm headers...
	*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid pointer: 0x0a17faec
***
	Aborted

The pointer address changes each time (0x0a17faec)...

In the /var/log/up2date I get :

	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:20 2005] up2date updating login info
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:20 2005] up2date logging into up2date server
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:24 2005] up2date successfully retrieved
authentication token from up2date server
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:24 2005] up2date availablePackageList from
network
	[Wed Nov  9 14:28:24 2005] up2date Unable to import repomd
support so repomd support will not be available

Nothing shows in messages or anyplace else I can find....

I haven't installed anything except via up2date.

Does anyone have any idea's? I searched the Knowledgebase and googled as
best I could though with no luck.

Thanks in advance!
-Mike
