Hi Mark,

Sorry for missed this mail.

How about just give warning without quit when read configure files fails?

The segment fault occurs on executing rpmReadPackageFile(). It is a 
library function in rpmdb/package.c. And it finally calls rpmdbNew(), 
and in rpmdbNew() it calls:

db->db_home = rpmdbURIPath( (home && *home ? home : _DB_HOME) );

home passed in is NULL, and _DB_HOME is defined by:

#define _DB_HOME "%{?_dbpath}"

Then segment fault occurs with xstrdup() because no value is definedfor 
_dbpath then it tries to xstrdup() a NULL value in rpmdbURIPath().

That is why I think parse configure files first in rpm2cpio is the way 
to fix the issue.

Kai
