Erm, is that 'gnus$' above there just a little clipo or did it really print that out? Also, your strace shows apt seg faulting just after the child exits, which is really not that reasonable.. Really, I don't get it, your strace output looks OK, there is only 1 possible code path that could give this and that path doesn't match the strace output. I think the way to attack this is to try to locate what is causing that segfault you see and that will probably lead to the answer - can you run apt under gdb and/or compile it with -g. Thanks, Jason
