Thanks for your report! A quick test with apt-get reveals the same behavior (=segfault), so I am reassign it to "us" - more specifically libapt-pkg4.12. Your example is: apt-get install --reinstall dpkg perl-base And I can reproduce that, with others it works as expected. The attached simple patch fixes the segfault and reveals: E: Couldn't configure pre-depend dpkg:amd64 for perl-base:amd64, probably a dependency cycle. I haven't had the time yet to understand why APT thinks that, but it is at least not a segfault. Best regards David Kalnischkies
