I've got some output from strace - rather much ... 50-60 MB uncompressed...
The last thing in the log (before I interrupt the trace and rpm command) are
a whole lot of lines like:
futex(0x8337d18, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
futex(0x8337d18, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
futex(0x8337d18, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
futex(0x8337d18, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
futex(0x8337d18, FUTEX_WAIT, 1, NULL) = -1 ENOSYS (Function not
implemented)
I don't know if someone want to take a look at it ? Gzip'ed the log is about
370 KB ...
Regards,
/Brian
