Description Dominique Leuenberger 2010-04-08 12:57:04 UTC

(initiated based on mail thread at http://lists.opensuse.org/zypp-devel/2010-04/msg00010.html )

Factory setup, zypper version 1.4.0-3.3.x86_64

when launching
zypper up OpenOff* (To update the OpenOffice stack), I end up with:
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
zypper: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/intrusive_ptr.hpp:149: T* boost::intrusive_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = const zypp::ResObject]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
Aborted

Running the same command in gdb resulted in gdb segfaulting. The stack trace will be attached to the bug.

It seems to depend on the 'list' of packages to pass.

Issuing zypper up zlib* did work, zypper up yast* did fail the same way.

Yes. Zypper failed to test whether an installed item is actually present before printing it's data.
