command: sudo apt-get install -f
relevant strace trace.log output:
read(21, "Segmentation fault\r\ndpkg: error "..., 1024) = 1024
write(1, "Segmentation fault\r\ndpkg: error "..., 1024) = 1024
read(19, "status: shared-mime-info : error"..., 1024) = 505

For some unknown reason, there was a dependency error, so I tried to fix with 
the -f switch.
Segmentation Fault resulted.

Thank You!
