On running 'dnf update' this morning I got a segfault from /usr/lib/libdb-5.3.so, which is part of libdb-5.3.28-21.fc25, so the problem is more than just an incompatible database. However removing the temp files and rebuilding the db seems to have cleared it. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
