Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1.1
Followup-For: Bug #377751
I've also seen this, on both of my own machines: a powerpc (iBook) and an
amd64. If for example I install libgamin-dev, which lives on DVD3, it depends
on libgamin0 and gamin, which live on DVD1. Reading the first DVD and install
those goes along fine, then aptitude asks for the next DVD, insert it, click
Continue, and a SEGFAULT appears back at the shell.
When using aptitude by the command line interface it is apparent that the
SEGFAULT occurs in a seperate thread *before* the prompt asking for the other
DVD.
When apt-get is used in the same manner, no SEGFAULT occurs.
I grabbed a core file from one instance of this happening on my powerpc. It's
50MB big, so I'll just attach gdb's backtrace. Hope this helps.
Peace,
Brendon
