Any clue on how we can replicate this? Moreso, are you sure this is i686-specific?
The reproducer was
"rpm -qa <something>"
e.g. rpm -qa 'kernel*'
Fortunately, I meanwhile managed to get a couple of the coredumps off
the machine and uploaded them to
https://corsepiu.fedorapeople.org/rpm/
Some additional remarks:
- My attempts to restore from backup (ca. 3 weeks old) seemingly are
being killed by some nss* related update:
# rpm -U <some rpm>
error: Failed to initialize NSS library
ATM, my guess is, the architectural issues with nss-softkn* which are
effectively showstopping fc27 on my PIII, now have been propagated to
f26 and killing it, too.
- On my PIII, I am (for months) suffering from a kernel bug (Presumably
the NIC driver) which render all Fedora kernels > 4.9.14 unusable for me.
Now, my guess is, the rpm SIGILLs I experienced yesterday originate from
the "dnf update" having tripped of boths (or more) bugs simultaneously,
all in all resulting in a corrupted installation.
