[Bug 90334] 5.8.8-7build1 segfaults on x86

2007-03-07 Thread Alexander Koenig
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: perl

Upgrading an edgy machine to feisty via 'dist-upgrade' yesterday, I ran
into a problem with the 5.8.8-7build1 of perl. 30 or more packages
caused a segfault in dpkg's 'Setting up' phase making apt-get fail due
to too many errors. After some analysis I noticed it was 'perl'
segfaulting so I downgraded to 5.8.8-7 and put 'perl' on hold. The
following 'dist-upgrade' went smoothly and dpkg configured all packages
successfully that had failed before. Unfortunately I don't have a trace
as I was focused on getting the system back to work.

** Affects: perl (Ubuntu)
 Importance: Undecided
 Status: Unconfirmed

Yes, without a simplified test case it will be difficult to really dig into
this problem.
