I just changed the shell to bash and the problem still exists.
Dario JR>Hi, JR> JR>this problem was reported on 1st Feb with the subject "mkfontdir in JR>testing xutils (4.0.2) segfaults". JR>I have the same problem, X doesn't work anymore. JR>I was told it could be a glibc problem. JR> JR>It seems to hit Ultra's. *shrugs* JR> JR>An update didn't help yet. JR>What glibc and kernel version are you running? I'm running kernel 2.4.1 JR>and glibc 2.2.1. I'm pretty sure it installed a new glibc the last time JR>I upgraded and after that I encountered those problems. Sigh i supposed this! At the moment i still use kernel 2.2.18pre21 (potato package), but my intention is to recompile it in the next few days, and glibc 2.2. Moreover i experience other problems with this upgrade to woody: some applications, (traceroute first of all) give the error:" zsh: bus error traceroute www.debian.org", and i don't understand if it's the shell or the application to crash.
