Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1 Severity: normal I'm seeing the same problem too after installing some software from sid. Would love some advice on how to recover!
Here's a message I just sent to debian-user: After making the following changes to pull in sid's bluez 4.0 package in a lenny system, I'm now getting segmentation faults when I run dpkg and aptitude. Any thoughts on how to recover from this? For example: $ sudo aptitude update Segmentation fault Here are some messages from /var/log/syslog: Jul 19 13:47:38 olgas kernel: [ 1791.378162] apt-listchanges[11214]: segfault at 80000000000 ip 0000000000446702 sp 00007fff1eb16f90 error 4 in python2.5[400000+125000] Jul 19 13:47:38 olgas kernel: [ 1791.523514] apt-listchanges[11216]: segfault at 10000731670 ip 00000000004d5f08 sp 00007fff8060fe80 error 4 in python2.5[400000+125000] Jul 19 13:47:41 olgas kernel: [ 1794.964660] dpkg[11230]: segfault at 200000000008 ip 000000000040b0c4 sp 00007fff02c49040 error 4 in dpkg[400000+61000] Jul 19 13:48:22 olgas kernel: [ 1835.600343] aptitude[11320]: segfault at 10000000018 ip 0000000000538150 sp 00007fff40c13fa0 error 4 in aptitude[400000+22a000] Jul 19 13:53:06 olgas kernel: [ 2119.972216] aptitude[11630]: segfault at 7f4e555e428c ip 00007f38c73a3517 sp 00007fffcf840c10 error 4 in libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6.0[7f38c7365000+bd000] Here's a trimmed excerpt from /var/log/aptitude: Aptitude 0.4.11.11: log report Sun, Jul 19 2009 12:33:18 -0700 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libbluetooth3 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libnl1 [INSTALL] bluez [UPGRADE] bluez-utils 3.36-3 -> 4.42-2 Aptitude 0.4.11.11: log report Sun, Jul 19 2009 12:51:29 -0700 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] consolekit [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libck-connector0 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libpam-ck-connector [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libpolkit-dbus2 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libpolkit-gnome0 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libpolkit-grant2 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libpolkit2 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libxcb-atom1 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libxcb-aux0 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] libxcb-event1 [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] obex-data-server [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] policykit [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] policykit-gnome [INSTALL, DEPENDENCIES] python-pyrex [REMOVE, DEPENDENCIES] bluez-gnome [REMOVE, DEPENDENCIES] libxcb-xlib0 [REMOVE, DEPENDENCIES] libxcb-xlib0-dev [INSTALL] blueman [UPGRADE] libstartup-notification0 0.9-1 -> 0.10-1 [UPGRADE] libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 -> 2:1.2.1-1 [UPGRADE] libx11-dev 2:1.1.5-2 -> 2:1.2.1-1 [UPGRADE] libxcb1 1.1-1.2 -> 1.3-2 [UPGRADE] libxcb1-dev 1.1-1.2 -> 1.3-2 -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.4.11.11 compiled at Dec 5 2008 09:06:14 Compiler: g++ 4.3.2 Compiled against: apt version 4.6.0 NCurses version 5.6 libsigc++ version: 2.0.18 Ept support enabled.
