I mount my /var/log on a ramfs (since I run off a 4G thumbdrive), and
worked around the problem by creating any necessary directories in
rc.local. I've also created in rc.local a link from /var/cache/apt to a
/tmp/debs (with /tmp mounted as tmpfs) and create the /archives/partial
directory
Here is a patch to fix the problem. I've tested it with latest apt bzr branch.
After changes, apt-get logs the following lines instead of giving a
segmentation fault.
E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing
E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing
** Patch added: CloseLog.patch
I think crash happens because code snippet below (from apt-
pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:656) does not check if history_out is valid.
string history_name = flCombine(_config-FindDir(Dir::Log),
_config-Find(Dir::Log::History));
if (!history_name.empty())
