It'd be useful to find out (e.g. strace) exactly what process segfaulted and roughly where. It could well be dpkg itself, for instance. base-passwd is the very first package that debootstrap installs using dpkg rather than by just extracting file system tarballs, so my expectation is that this won't actually turn out to have anything to do with base-passwd, but we'll see. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
