I need some help here. Suddenly, I can no longer install anything via apt-get, segfaults out the wazoo.
Here is the output from my attempt to install the latest k3b...
apt-get install k3b

I get similar errors no matter what I try to install.
How can I fix this?
As far as I saw you didn't get the problem fixed yet so maybe you don't mind me suggesting this one...
tar is broken; maybe you should try and compile tar from source (without using the malfunctioning apt/dpkg tools) -- like, try and get the latest source from unstable by browser, compile, install -- that's it; after that everything should run again
HTH,
