Please send a copy of `diff -u /var/backups/dpkg.status.0 /var/lib/dpkg/status` (or whichever backup is dated prior to the upgrade). Make a backup of /var/cache/apt/*.bin and delete them, then run apt-get update again. See if this fixes the problem. I'm copying the glibc maintainers to see if this corresponds to a known bug. This is a segfault in a C++ shared library on powerpc using libc6 2.3.2.ds1-10. -- - mdz
