Apt Segmentation Fault

Submitted by Lunar_Lamp on Sun, 05/01/2011 - 19:21

Unfortunately I didn't do a full debug of the problem, but I had problems where both apt-get and aptitude were dying when run. Further investigation lead me to notice segmentation faults in my logs, for example:

May 1 18:34:57 ebony kernel: [249491.980426] apt-get[10391]: segfault at 7f2b59c95474 ip 00007f2b56d9bf37 sp 00007fff4401aa80 error 4 in libapt-pkg.so.4.10.1[7f2b56d4f000+10a000]

This was fixed as follows:

sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin

Thanks!

Really saved me a lot of effort resetting my bootable USB.

I love the captcha, but regarding the input formats in the comments, I have to check something:

$('body').append('It seems your site is vulnerable to CSRF.');
