hai i didnt install any other software yet for the machine; it's just running a vanilla centos 3.4
 installation.

it just gives the following output when i run "ldd /usr/bin/yum" not a dynamic excutable

how do i run yum under gdb ? and send you the backtrace

did "strace yum update > /tmp/strace.log" as root but it does not send the output of strace to the
logfile.

the segmentation fault only occured yesterday night, but when i had rebooted the machine the
segmentation fault was no more. Im sorry but im not a programmer by profession.
