Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.10
When I install a package using either `apt-get install' or `dpkg -i' I
get a segmentation fault. My /usr/share/doc is on a seperate partition
which is full:
mystery:/tmp# df /usr/share/doc
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda20 381139 381137 0 100% /usr/share/doc
Running dpkg through strace shows the problem:
mystery:/tmp# strace dpkg -i dpkg_1.13.11_i386.deb
execve("/usr/bin/dpkg", ["dpkg", "-i", "dpkg_1.13.11_i386.deb"], [/* 25 vars

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.
I suggest that dpkg exit gracefully with an error message indicating the
problem (i.e. a partition is out of space).
I am using Debian testing/unstable, kernel 2.6.12.3, libc 2.3.5.
