This is a me-too. After a half-dozen packages upgraded (including libc6): Could not install 'debconf' subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped (saw prior mention of "perl stack squashed")
Continuing the upgrade fails on each additional package. Went through roughly four, including xorg, then the installer hangs. Workaround: kill adept process (running in python interpreter) # dpkg --configure -a # apt-get dist-upgrade # apt-get -f dist-upgrade Nothing unusual was removed as a result of the -f upgrade, so it looks and works like a clean gutsy system once those commands complete (1077 packages are installed). I really wish I found this bug before I clicked to upgrade my distribution though. from kubuntu/gutsy, -edfardos -- 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
