This is not about name resolution errors. Using smart, yum, synaptic, or just plain rpm, I'm getting a segfault when I try to update pam and pam-devel, or in the case of the GUI based apps, they're just freezing, locking up with no error messages - there's no CPU activity going on at that point -- there's just a window with no info, or a stuck progress bar, or an endless hourglass. If I download the rpms and use rpm to try and install pam and pam-devel that's when I get a clear message which is a segfault. I tried the --force option as well, but just segfault. And removing pam is not an option, because it wants to remove a ton of other apps -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD
