[CentOS] Yum segmentation fault when updating to CentOS v5.5
Hi all, I'm getting a segmentation fault with yum when I try to update a CentOS v5.4 install to v5.5. What I've done: * Ran yum clean all. * Ran yum update yum* * Ran yum update, and got the segmentation fault. * Yum suggested running with option --skip-broken, which I did. Still got the segmentation fault. * Rebooted machine and ran yum update again. Segmentation fault... * Googled some and found some hints on rebuilding the rpm-database, which I did. * Ran yum update again. Got segmentation fault again. * Disabled all 3rd party repos, rpmforge and epel, tried yum update again and got seg fault. * Disabled all plugins; priorities, fastestmirror and kmod, tried yum pdate again and got seg fault yet again. * Removed /var/cache/yum and ran yum update. Got a seg fault. Any other tips, tricks or hints I could try? FWIW, this is the only machine I've had this problem with. All others I've updated to v5.5 so far have worked w/o a hitch as upgrades go.
