Can you send a gzipped copy of your entire status file? I am not sure what (exactly) I did to fix it, but I'm no longer experiencing this problem. The problem was solved through some combination of: * Selectively upgrading packages to match a known good system * Installing `file` * Unmounting /dev/shm (originally a tmpfs filesystem) * Rebooting For the record, I began doing selective upgrades first. After each upgrade, I'd re-run `apt-get update`, and in all cases the segmentation fault persisted. I then played with my sources.list and discovered that only two package lists triggered the problem: sarge/main and security sarge/updates non-free. This seemed especially odd, since the "security sarge/updates non-free" package list is empty. At one point, I noticed that the problem machine had /dev/shm mounted. So I unmounted it. At about the same time, I also noticed that the known good machine had `file` installed whereas the problem machine didn't. So I installed the `file` package. After that, scanning of the empty sarge/updates non-free package list no longer caused segmentation faults. However, the sarge/main package still tripped it up. At that point, I finally became brave enough to reboot the system (remotely; it's on the other side of the state from me). After reboot, apt was able to scan the sarge/main package with no problems. It's possible that the reboot did it, or it's possible that this machine has a bad piece of RAM and a reboot relocated things sufficiently. I really don't know. I'm just glad that the system is working now. I'm sorry the problem wasn't more reproducible, but I wanted to pass on as much information as I could in case any of was helpful. -- Ken Treis Miriam Technologies, Inc.

Bug#215466: fi_FI locale doesn't contain first_weekday
The patch for week- and workday in fi_FI was commited to upstream CVS 2003-11-26. This problem should thus be fixed in the next release of glibc.
