Segmentation Fault - 09/29/04 08:00 PM

Hi All,

what is this..? Was installing/updating via YUM, and got this,

Segmentation fault after only 37/227

also, what is this,

warning: /etc/mail/submit.cf created as /etc/mail/submit.cf.rpmnew


P.S. This is what came up after the segmentation error,

[root@RH9Desktop superwasp]#

Is it waiting for me to do something..?

Cheers.

the segmentation fault happened after the 37th of 227 things on the list of what
YUM was doing.. perhaps caused by a communication channel error.

Can you restart the YUM update?

What you saw after the segmentation fault is a command shell prompt.
The shell is waiting for you to type in a command (or you may type 'exit'
to dismiss the shell window).

The warning you received is because during the update, YUM found there already
was a modified submit.cf file (modified as compared to the database YUM uses).

Instead of blindly overwriting your existing submit.cf file (in case there's something
unique and special about your setup), YUM has placed the new/updated version of
submit.cf in the file submit.cf.rpmnew.

You're now expected to compare submit.cf.rpmnew and submit.cf and reconcile
the differences manually.
