Hi All, I have a Centos 5.8 system with relatively little memory, that runs in rl3, where yum has decided not to work any more. As follows:-
# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 774628 697516 77112 0 77720 313284 -/+ buffers/cache: 306512 468116 Swap: 2048276 160 2048116
# yum -v Segmentation fault
# uname -a Linux **.**.co.uk 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 17 17:08:10 EDT 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.8 (Final)
I checked with "rpm -V yum" that its installed OK. Rebuilt the rpm database. Cut yum.repos.d down to just Centos-Base. I've manually cleared its cache. I've stopped most other processing to get the free memory to around 300K and yum still segfaults. I don't really feel like managing this system with just rpm :-(
Any ideas where to look - I'm a bit stumped.
Thanks
Ken
