I have a machine running centos3.4, once in a while trying to run yum, i got a segmentation fault. Anyone could give me an advice as im already runnig the latest patches etc. I had already checked the harddrive but it give out no error results.
I've had a problem like this with yum when I installed a copy of Brightmail and Sun Messaging Server on the machine and ldconfig path was changed to include those directories "before" /usr/lib.
1) ldd the binary and make sure all the correct libs are being used 2) Run yum under gdb and send us the backtrace 3) As someone pointed, send/post the log from: strace yum update
