I ran into a similar problem where I couldn't upgrade or install anything. Like the others, I would get a segfault and "subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139". This was also on hardy on x86. I spent a little time with gdb and could see this: Core was generated by `/usr/bin/perl -w /usr/sbin/update-binfmts --import cli'. I ran that command by hand, and it segfaults. Attaching gdb to that core file showed me: (gdb) where #0 0xb7ecd13c in readdir64_r () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #1 0x080fe65c in Perl_pp_readdir () #2 0x080c0cab in Perl_runops_standard () #3 0x0806727b in perl_run () #4 0x08063792 in main ()
I downgraded libc6 from 2.7-10ubuntu4 to 2.7-10ubuntu3 and libc6-i686 from 2.7-10ubuntu4 to 2.7-10ubuntu3. I was then able to run dpgk --configure -a and complete the upgrades that were hanging. As soon as I do an apt-get upgrade it upgrades back to the newer libc6 and I have the same problems again. It certainly seems that there is something strange going on with readdir64_r in the latest libc6 -- package ubuntu-docs 8.04.2~hardy failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220762 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
