[LON-CAPA-admin] Kernel upgrade: segmentation fault

[Scott Harrison]

Hi Lars,

RPM database problems with 6.2 are commonly experienced (at least
by me), especially with RPM updates.

Solution #1.
Follow instructions at
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/msg.php3?msg_id=6242308&list=87

Solution #2.
Upgrade to RedHat 7.3.

Solution #2 is my recommendation, especially since LON-CAPA is phasing out
support for RH6.2.

Regards,
Scott
