Package: dpkg
Version: 1.17.4
Severity: critical
update-alternative crashes when creating the alternatives for
epiphany-browser, causing epiphany-browser to not be configured,
thus breaking it, and probably other software as well.
The part of the postinst causing the seg fault is:
PRIO=85
for alt in x-www-browser gnome-www-browser; do
update-alternatives --install \
/usr/bin/$alt $alt /usr/bin/epiphany-browser $PRIO \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/$alt.1.gz $alt.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/epiphany-browser.1.gz
done
Maybe you can reproduce this yourself in a debug build, otherwise
I'll do a debug build myself and try to reproduce it with debugging
symbols.
