Package: netcfg Version: 1.13 Severity: critical Tags: d-i netcfg in today's daily d-i builds segfaults without displaying any questions (expert mode) or doing anything. Seeing this on my standard i386 proliant test system and also on an arm board, both known good install targets.

I went back and downloaded the arm daily build from September 7th, which does not have this problem. Here's the thing: The version of netcfg on that build is also 1.13, same as on the build that fails! In fact the only different in the two images as far as udebs is these: - libdebian-installer4-udeb 0.34 arm + libdebian-installer4-udeb 0.35 arm - libiw28-udeb 27+28pre8-1 arm + libiw28-udeb 27+28pre9-1 arm Plus whatever changes there may have been in the build environment and libraries included via library reduction, etc. I'm guessing it's the libiw28 change that has broken it. The call to is_wireless_iface comes at about the right place to be responsible for this crash. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.27 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- see shy jo
