Hi all,
this is a quite strange problem I am facing.
calling dselect update I receive a segfault from:
/usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update line 42
that exanded is:
dpkg --admindir=/var/lib/dpkg/ --update-avail /var/cache/apt/available
In a vague attempt to strace the command.. it worked perfectly...
hounestly I am a bit puzzled...
What should i look for? Any help or info would be really appreciated
as well please let me know any kind of action i can take to provide
more information back.
Thanks
Fabio
