Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1255"<BR>) <BR>) Hi Gene,<BR>)
<BR>) I recently encountered a similar problem with up2date. It would start<BR>)
the process, but always fail when retrieving a specific package. Always<BR>) at
the same time in the process.<BR>) <BR>) Error: segmentation fault. But this
message you won't see if you're<BR>) using the graphical interface, only when
using command line.<BR>) <BR>) Cause: a corrupt file in the spool folder:
/var/spool/up2date/<BR>) <BR>) Resolution: remove all files from this spool
folder and try again.<BR>) Worked for me.<BR>) <BR>) Hopefully this helps.<BR>)
<BR>) Regards,<BR>) Ronald<BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
