Zypper broken

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Good day

I have a bit of a problem after my last update.

Somehow it managed ta break zypper and / or related packages.

When I start “Software Management” in YaST it starts up and then fails with

YaST got signal 11 at YCP file /usr/share/YaST2/clients/sw_single.ycp:307
/sbin/yast2: line 427:  9978 Segmentation fault      $ybindir/y2base $module "$@" "$SELECTED_GUI" $Y2_GEOMETRY $Y2UI_ARGS

Running the “Software repositories” however works fine and I can add, remove and edit repositories.
What does however fail is the Refresh of any repository.

Seeing that was broken and thinking it’s YaST I decided to try zypper directly.

Once again zypper works fine but as soon as I run zypper up I get

# zypper -v up
Verbosity: 1
Initializing Target
Checking whether to refresh metadata for Packman-openSUSE-Tumbleweed
Segmentation fault

Running

rpm -qf $(ldd /usr/bin/zypper | awk '{print $3}' | grep lib) | sort -u

returns

Whilst

rpm -q -V zypper glibc $(rpm -qf $(ldd /usr/bin/zypper | awk '{print $3}' | grep lib) | sort -u)

returns nothing.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Downloading the latest and manually updating the above mentioned packages?

please show us the terminal input/output from


zypper lr -d
cat /etc/SuSE-release

copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions
here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr

and, since (it seems) you have elected to run Tumbleweed then you need
to PM a monitor here to move the thread to there…

Could you please post the results of

grep PROXY /etc/sysconfig/proxy

It’s a long shot but I have been getting similar segfaults in some cases.

Here is the requested information.

I doubt if it’s the proxy since nothing has changed on it and everything was working fine until I did the last set of updates in December.

zypper lr -d

Here is the output from zypper.log after I ran zypper -v up.
I had to remove some of the repo parsing lines to shorten the result.

Sorry, that’s not Tumbleweed, but more like a repository hell-fire club. :slight_smile:

You could try disabling all but the recommended/supported repos, and rerun zypper dup in an attempt to return to a baseline. Then add those “must-have extras” back one-step at a time to see what breaks (if anything does).

Ok, I removed most of the repositories, but still no luck.

Checking them on the openSUSE-current-update repository’s URI confirms that they are still the latest.

Since most of the repositories have been removed and the last thing to have been successfully updated were PackageKit and zypper and there is an internal code error the only logical reasoning remaining to me is either

  1. The update was botched
  2. The updates contain a bug causing the segfault
  3. The updates are incompatible or fail to read the zypper cache / db.

Verifying the packages and that they are installed tells me that the update wasn’t botched or RPM is broken as well, let’s assume the prior.
The installed version is still the latest as per the updates site, so either the bug has not been detected / not yet fixed or there is no bug, let’s assume the latter here.

That only leaves me with something went wrong with zypper internally.
The choices here are, fiddle around with zypper, do a roll-back to the previous version.

As consused already mentioned removing the unnecessary repositories is the first step.

So, how do I reinitialize the zypper cache / db next?

10

Try

sudo rpmdb --rebuilddb

zypper clean --all



zypper ref

zypper dup

If that fails
Try running in level3 and do the same

11

Thanks for the advice caf4926 but I found the problem.

Tracing through some of the steps that zypper has to do for a repo refresh i stumbled upon this.

With this proxy config the new zypper breaks:
grep -vE ‘^#|^$’ /etc/sysconfig/proxy


PROXY_ENABLED="yes"
HTTP_PROXY="http://wpad:3128"
HTTPS_PROXY="http://wpad:3128"
FTP_PROXY="http://wpad:3128"
GOPHER_PROXY=""
NO_PROXY="localhost, 127.0.0.1/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, 10.0.0.0/8"

With this one it works
grep -vE ‘^#|^$’ /etc/sysconfig/proxy


PROXY_ENABLED="yes"
HTTP_PROXY="http://wpad:3128"
HTTPS_PROXY="http://wpad:3128"
FTP_PROXY="http://wpad:3128"
GOPHER_PROXY=""
NO_PROXY="localhost"

It seems that the new zypper segfaults when trying to process the NO_PROXY array!

Thanks for the help everyone.

Do we have to report this bug?

i believe there is already a bug on this…learned it last night, see

and, i think you should add your hardware/software/symptom detail info
to that bug (the more who report it, the more likely it will get prompt
attention)…
