Re: up2date

["Koree A. Smith" <koreesmith gmail com>]

If it is segfaulting, I'd say there's a possibility something more
more serious going on.  It's possible it could be as simple as up2date
itself being corrupted, all the way to hardware issues with the
machine.  In your position, I would probably start by downloading the
up2date rpm, and then removing and reinstalling up2date from the
system

download up2date rpm from RHN.
Erase up2date from the system with rpm -e up2date.blah.blah
Reinstall up2date with rpm -Uvh up2date-blah.rpm

Sometimes strace is helpful with hunting down segfault issues, also.

You may want to try running up2date in a few different ways.  Maybe
not downloading packages, or possibly just doing --showall to make
sure it can actually communicate at all with RHN.
