So for updating a package I use: rpm -Uvh *.rpm for installing a package from scratch (like what you should do with kernels) I use: rpm -ivh *.rpm I would expect an error in rpm if you use both i and U in the same command as you've done above. A segfault is a bit much and I assume the programmers haven't debugged that parameter combination. As to why it takes so long, I would rebuild the rpm database and clear the cache files - this smells like an old problem I used to have.
