Hi, I can reproduce this. I have attached a stacktrace and part of the update log which shows that the segfaults start while configuring locales (though probably that this is just the first package with a postinstall after configuring libc6-i686).
If you have ideas how I could help further, just ask. Cheers, Stefan
