zypper Segmentation fault when installing the rudder packages
Description
Hi,
i checked and it seems I didn't ever open a proper bug for this. So here we go:
Zypper dies if you try to install a rudder agent RPM using "zypper install <file.rpm>".
zypper install for other RPM files does work.
Installing the agent RPM using RPM also works.
root@rudderc1 ~ # zypper install rudder-agent-3.0.4.release-1.SLES.11.x86_64.rpm
Segmentation fault
Reproducible on SLES11SP2, SLES11SP3 and as I hear also on SLES10 :)

I've tried a rpmlint on it, just in hope to drill down on the errors. Didn't help but see for yourself :)

According to GDB, it seems Zypper fails to parse the RPM header properly:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff65b9ae2 in __strlen_sse2 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ffff65b9ae2 in __strlen_sse2 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff7913ed9 in zypp::target::rpm::RpmHeader::dumpOn(std::ostream&) const () from /usr/lib64/libzypp.so.908 #2 0x00007ffff79157a5 in zypp::target::rpm::RpmHeader::readPackage(zypp::filesystem::Pathname const&, zypp::target::rpm::RpmHeader::VERIFICATION) () from /usr/lib64/libzypp.so.908 #3 0x000000000046ea94 in Zypper::doCommand() () #4 0x0000000000470298 in Zypper::safeDoCommand() () #5 0x0000000000470f31 in Zypper::main(int, char**) () #6 0x0000000000441efa in main ()
Let's try to reproduce with an empty RPM with the same header info

Matthieu found a lots of segfault bugs related to zypper, it seems to be quite usual for it...
For now, we are not sur how we can make things better. We are going to open a new bug on zypper bug tracker so that the dev can try to reproduce and understand the problem, and hopefully explains what is so disliked in our rpm.

We managed to test these patches successfully.
The bug to attract others using SLES is:
- Fix segmentation fault when dumping rpm header with epoch. (bnc#929483)
Is there any other need to keep this bug open?
