I have the same problem with the upgrade to Kubuntu 7.10. I noticed, that the segfault happend right after my memoryusage skyrockets.
I have 1 GB of RAM. Right before the error-message the memory-usage jumps from approx. 250MB to >1GB (using at least 250MB of swap). I have two crash-log-files in /var/crash: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 228 2007-10-20 20:18 debconf.0.crash -rw------- 1 root root 9200155 2007-10-20 20:18 _usr_sbin_dpkg-preconfigure.0.crash -rw------- 1 root root 9046462 2007-10-20 19:25 _usr_share_debconf_frontend.0.crash -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 227 2007-10-20 20:20 x11-common.0.crash the "x11-common.0.crash" says that that upgrade-process crashed, too. But there's no .crash-files for that. -- Could not install 'debconf' during System upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147429 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
