Many Thanks to Dr Thomas.Blinn for his immediate answer.
It was my aim to find a solution without reinstall the whole box. So I
installed truss, a utility to trace system calls, to find out after
which call the memory fault appear. I have attached an extract of the
output from truss at end of this mail.
One of the last system calls was a statfs("/home",...). I don't know
exactly what it did, but my autofs-daemon manage automatically mounting
of user-directories under /home.
So I stopped autofs-process and tried the rpm-install-procedure again.
Marvelously the rpm run faultless and installed my desired rpm-packages
as well.
The error is reproduceable every time I start the machine with
autofs-daemon.
In the documentation "Network Administration: Services"[1] is a section
about "Automatically Mounting a Remote File System"[2]. Other than
autofs there is also the use of automount described or vice versa :)
I change to automount with success and the rpm-tool also work as
expected.
