Package: libc6-udeb Version: 2.28-2 Severity: important Trying to install with the netinst image from [1]
The hardware is a Dell Optiplex with 64-bit Intel processor. There is an old install of jessie on the disk, which is two SSDs in software raid-1. One partition for /, the rest is LVM. I am doing the interactive install. Set country = AU, keyboard = US, TZ location = New South Wales Set up root password and default user account. Set mirror to: ftp.au.debian.org, also tried deb.debian.org. Right after libc6-udeb is downloaded I get a segfault. Below is a transcription of the console (alt-f4) at the point where the failure occurs. Once the segfault starts, I can't run any commands at all, not even <ctrl>-<alt>-<del>.

All seems fine, the installer dropped me into the partitioner so I left it at that. I tried on different hardware, to check. This was similar to the first system (Dell Optiplex 990), but running stretch. Single 1Tb SATA disk, separate / and the rest LVM. I see the same segfault at the same point the installation process.
