Bug#304604: locales: Upgrading fails
reassign 304604 perl retitle 304604 perl: heap corruption causes installation of other packages to fail (debconf is aborting) with new glibc thanks I've verified that the bug is also present on a freshly installed AMD64 system. It would be good to resolve this before glibc-2.3.5 enters unstable.

Hmm, I didn't reappear this problem even I set with your environment
variables. Could you dig this problem a bit more? If it's
unreproducible, perl maintainer also cannot find what the actual bug
is...
Last few lines from strace dpkg-reconfigure dash:

Compared to the last lines from MALLOC_CHECK_=0 strace dpkg-reconfigure
dash:

So perl seems to be dying in exit().
Could you investigate perl with glibc 2.3.2.ds1-20 + MALLOC_CHECK_=0
to 3? If perl has double free bug, such bug should be also appeared
on sarge/sid environment.

You may reassign this bug to perl, but if perl is not fixed before sarge (unlikely, since AFAIK perl is frozen, and the bug does not affect sarge), a more generic workaround might be needed for the sarge-etch transition (yeah, I know it is in the distant future ;-) Ok, more stracing shows that the abort() happens when perl exits, so the bug would be harmless if malloc() friends would just not call abort() by default.
