Description of problem: After selecting a package, and opening windows with more information and options, drakrpm crashes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): My Window Manager is IceWM. How reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a root terminal and execute "drakrpm" 2. on drakrpm window, do a search for "git" 3. from the list of packages, assuming git is not already installed, select: "|x| git 2.7.4" , by clicking on the little box 4. in the window that popped up, click on the "More information" button 5. in the newer pop-up window, click on the button that lies on the right of "git-core-2.7.4-1.mga5.i586" ("More information for package...") 6. in the even newer and last in line pop-up (yes... finally... we will crash drakrpm), scroll down, and click where it says "Files" 7. drakrpm fetches the xml file 8. the Files element expands, showing the list of files 9. maybe a second passes, drakrpm crashes Note: I didn't try the above sequence with other packages.

Hi Nikos, Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue! We regret if this issue didn't get fixed in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/ It only continued to get important security updates since then, but non-security bugs have no chance of still getting fixed. I assume this bug doesn't exist in Mageia 6 or later, because there are no Mageia_6 or Mageia_7-Cauldron bug reports about a 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)' error. Closing as OLD. Please reopen this report and change its "Version:" at the top left to "6", if the same bug still exists in Mageia 6. Cheers, Marja
