I have prepared a test package at https://launchpad.net/~jconti/+archive/testing/+files/wget_1.13.4-2ubuntu2_amd64.deb with the above patch reverted ( debdiff: https://launchpad.net/~jconti/+archive/testing/+files/wget_1.13.4-2ubuntu1_1.13.4-2ubuntu2.diff.gz ), so that we might determine if that is indeed the code segment causing trouble. (Should have versioned the package with ~ppa at the end, but forgot, oh well).
There should be no harm in dropping the code, since it is just an attempt to avoid encoding the string twice (and I have been running wget without the patch without any issues today). If you cannot reproduce the issue, then it would seem this is definitely an upstream bug. I'm not really certain how best to fix it, so probably best to raise the issue with them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022124 Title: wget 1.13.4 crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc_consolidate() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wget/+bug/1022124/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
