apt-get segfaults

apt-get seg faults when I try to install a debian package. The version of apt I am running is 0.3.18. Any idea as to what the problem is ? # apt-get -v apt 0.3.18 for i386 compiled on Feb 13 2000 01:58:55 # strace apt-get install [snip] gettimeofday({961307348, 8428}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofda

apt-get segfaults

Hi I updated my two potato boxes earlier today (29/12) using apt-get. One succeeded but the other segfaulted after/during configuration of mc, which was the last package to config. Now, whenever I try almost any operation with apt-get, I get a segfault while it is reading the package lists. The o

Re: apt-get segfaults while creating dependency tree

This used to happen to me all the time, until I changed the terminal emulator I use to access the machine. I changed from Windows telnet (I think) to TeraTerm Pro. I have no idea why this would fix the problem, but it did. I'm still using apt 0.1.9. Marc -- Marc Mongeon <[EMAIL PROTECT

apt-get segfaults while creating dependency tree

Recently, apt-get has started segfaulting on me every time I do an apt-get install. It will also often do it in the upgrade phase. This is, of course, quite frustrating. I'm using the 0.3.6 package. Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone know a workaround or fix? I've seen a bug report on t

Re: apt-get segfaults

The problem solved itself: after installing a new kernel (2.2.1 with ATM patches) apt-get suddenly works again. No other change ... A little bit puzzled, Martin. -- "Linux 2.2.1 - the Brown Paper Bag release" Linux Torvalds on linux-kernel ML

Re: apt-get segfaults

Here is what I personally suggest you do. There's probably something wrong with the apt-get package unless this is happening with a lot of other programs and then that means it's going to be one of your shared libraries either glibc or the stdc++ libraries. I suggest you use ftp (pref lftp) to get

apt-get segfaults

Hi, I have a serious problem with apt-get (and therefore with dselect): running "apt-get install something" gives me a segmentation fault, for example: test1:~# apt-get install xntp3 Updating package status cache...done Checking system integrity...ok The following NEW packages will be installed:
