Here's the output of 'strace apt-get update', which I have no idea how to read: *** ousetrap:/home/ocorrain# apt-get update Segmentation fault mousetrap:/home/ocorrain# strace apt-get update execve("/usr/bin/apt-get", ["apt-get", "update"], [/* 16 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="mousetrap", ...}) = 0 brk(0) = 0x806389c mmap(0, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40017000 open("/etc/ld.so.preload", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3 recvmsg(3, Segmentation fault *** Any suggestions?
