I probably mistated the problem. I was concerned that in upgrading from bash 2.01 (from the base2_2.tgz tarball I used to populate my system) that there is a dependency problem. You may not see it on 2.02. In my case, apt updated libc6 2.1 to libc 2.1.1...then it tried to update bash 2.01 -> 2.02. When it executes bash.prerm using the old version of bash (linked against libc6 2.1), it segfaults. I just am concerned that future versions of bash will be broken in a similar fashion. -- Matt Porter [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is Linux Country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows reboot.
