Pacakge: dpkg

installation script was terminated by a signal: Segmentation fault.
(It left a coredump.)

But there is no core file left around, at least not where the user can
see it.

This is coming really from libdpkg, but I don't think this bug is
really actionable. The core files generated, might not even have been
dumped if the kernel is configured to pipe them into a daemon for
example. If they are dumped they would usually drop in the process
CWD, but that information is not even going to be available once the
process has been terminated, so there's no real way for libdpkg to get
it.
I'm thus going to close this report, as not actionable, sorry. :)
Thanks,
Guillem
