[ramadashsuresh]

hai

i am trying to install a squirrelmail rpm in Redhat linux EL-4 get an error msf as follow

warning: squirrelmail-1.4.6-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1eb393ea
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0xb7a85520 ***
Aborted

what i have to do to solve the problem

[Vitaly Karasik_1]

try to check prerequrements for squirrelmail and check MD5 sum for rpm.

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom to you and hi Vitaly,

The download of the rpm was incomplete. What Vitaly's telling you to do is check the signature on the rpm versus what you got. Those two numbers will be different.

Re-download, reinstall and all should be well.

hi steven

As per suggesstion more then 3 times i have to down load a rpm from the following site

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail-1.4.6-1.noarch.rpm?use_mirror=nchc

continent : asia
location : japan

the size of the rpm is same in source and destination size 3.5mb

i get the same error msg

I hope, you have RHN subscription for your RHEL4, so the best way is d/l squirrelmail via RHN: rhn.redhat.com.

If you don't have RHN subscription, you can d/l from CentOS: http://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/4.4/os/i386/CentOS/RPMS/

Rgds,
Vitaly

also check out the '--nosignature' option in rpm to ignore the signature of rpm files.

Download the rpm via wget and then install that. The binary gets corrupt in the download process, maybe M-in-T-M.

you probably have some probem with RPM database and/or installed packages.
Try to run:

1) rpm -qal >/dev/null
you should see no output

2) rpm -Va
you will see a list of modified files. If you see binaries in this list, you may have corrupted binaries
