Description of problem:
Running up2date-gnome since the release of RHSA-2004:120-08 results in
a crash with the following traceback:

rpm.error: can't unload bad header

//

The problem seems to occur with openssl-devel-0.9.7a-33.4.i386.hdr.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
up2date-4.2.5-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run up2date-gnome.
2. Observe header download followed by crash.
3.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Adrian Likins 2004-04-08 22:07:10 UTC 
Looks like a bad header is in the cache,
try:

rm -rf /var/spool/up2date/*.hdr
Comment 2 RMauger 2004-04-09 11:36:38 UTC 
Removal of relevant headers(openssl-0.9.7a-33.4.i686.hdr,
openssl-devel-0.9.7a-33.4.i386.hdr) from up2date cache has now
resolved this issue. I had previously tried this on a number of
occasions without success. Oh well.

Thank you Adrian.
