This bug turned out to be the same as the many reports about segfault on corrupt /var/cache/apt/*.bin
In my case, it turned out to be a corrupt /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin I found this out with 'strace apt-get upgrade' apt mmap'ed /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin, and crashed shortly thereafter. Inspecting the file showed only a couple of lines of text, it looked like pieces of a package description. Perhaps apt shouldn't be so trusting. If such a cache file is corrupt, just zap it. I deleted the file, and could again upgrade my debian.' Helge Hafting -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
