Hai all, 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. Has anyone ever come across the segmentation problem in yum. Or any advice in troubleshooting it ? Thanks
