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

#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.
