Had the same problem on a Xen machine when upgrading to gutsy. After some investigation I was able to blame it on /usr/sbin/update-rc.d around line 96:
opendir(DIR, "."); foreach $_ (readdir(DIR)) { next unless (/^[SK]\d\d$bn$/); $fn = "$etcd$i.d/$_"; I was able to reproduce the segfault in other directories using the following perl code: opendir(DIR, "."); while ($a = readdir(DIR)) { print "$a\n"; } exit 1; It seems to bail out after the '..' directory, but I'm not sure it that's always the case... Installing libc6-xen didn't help... Pls tell me if I can investigate any further or when I should report this bug on another package (libc6?). -- update-rc.d segmentation fault on upgrade from clean feisty to gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152664 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
