That looks like some perl bug caused by the recent perl transition.
Please set EX4DEBUG=1 and try installing again, and paste the output
here.

This didn't produce any debug output, so I did a bit of digging and it
looks like it was actually falling over in the debconf Gnome frontend
... specifically ...

Switching to Dialog fixed the problem. I'm not sure if this is related
to bug #443753 or if it's an entirely separate SEGV ;-)
Rgrds,
David.
