Subject: dpkg: Confirmation of segfault when fs full Followup-For: Bug #213846 Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.18 Severity: normal
This is definitely reproducible. In my case it happened whilst installing a new kernel-image-x.x.xx package, and /boot (a separate filesystem) is full. I have a core file which is less than useful, as both the stack and eip point to memory that can't be referenced - I've probably done something wrong. I also have an strace output, showing that the segfault occurs immediately after the write() to the first file on /boot returns ENOSPC. I got lost trying to trace fd_fd_copy into the buffer_copy_setup stuff in lib/mlib.c - it's a horrendous mess of macro-generated functions. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: 2.4.23 i686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.18 a user tool to manage Debian packa ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
