Bug Description

I sturted full upgrade on one of my th/x86_64 machines (inside a vserver). I started poldek and executed "upgrade *". It upgraded some packages sucessfully. But it failed to upgrade git-core. It did not stop installing it when the progress bar reached 100%. It continued it, drawing a few screens of '#' characters and increasing a counter. It reached ~ 6000% or something like that. Finally I interupted it with Ctrl+C. I tried to install it again, and it happened again. I tried to start a new instance of poldek and perform "upgrade *" there - same error:

Executing sudo /bin/rpm --upgrade -vh --root /...

I had seen it a few times before, but now, for the first time, it is reproducible.

I have attached a tarball containing a /var/lib/rpm from that machine.

it's not Poldek. it is RPM.

See if git-core has got some %ghost file packaged, which your size is 160 times biger than original (original is likely 0 bytes)

so to see it, it is needed to know what was your git-core package BEFORE upgrade.
