Re: Failed assertion in iconv/skeleton.c


I installed that, and apparently nothing has changed.  RPM is
still broken, perl still reports a problem with locales, but
/lib/libc.so.6 reports 2.2.3.  Apparently, there is an upgrade
problem with my system's locale information and utilities, and
I'm not quite sure where it is or if it's even directly related to
glibc.  Since it didn't start happening until I upgraded glibc,
I assumed that's where the problem is.  I found one other
reference on the web to the failed assertion I get from rpm,
but that person solved his problem by saving locale files
before upgrading, and restoring them afterwards.  I can't
exactly do that since I never saved the old files to begin
with (and can't install libc-5 to restore them).  Any more
suggestions are appreciated.

Dave

P.S.  On the positive side, glibc-2.2.3 hasn't appeared to
break anything new. ;)
