Your system is very badly broken.  The most likely explanation is
hardware problems.

dpkg --version does nothing except print out the version number.  If
it coredumps then either (a) your hardware is not working properly now
or (b) the files on disk or cached copies in RAM are corrupted which
suggests that your hardware was not working properly at some previous
point.

If you think the problem was transient then you should restore from
your backups or reinstall.  Otherwise you should starting doing
hardware debugging/testing.

Ian.

[Bug 115676] Re: Couldn't rebuild package cache

2007-05-31 Thread curiogeo
Please forgive my ignorance on this subject but I have no clue where to
begin the hardware testing.

My question is 
1) Where do I look for support at debugging the hardware?
2) Is this a process from which, in your opinion, there is a safe and 
attainable solution? 
3) It sounds like you feel I have a memory problem?  If so are we talking RAM, 
or fixed storage issues?
4) Based on the line of your advice there is an issue with my hardware that is 
keeping dpkg from running properly?

Thanks for your assistance in this it is very much appreciated.

D

ps. I feel like the windows computer figure in the Mac commercials

I'm afraid I don't have the time right now to help you debug your computer.  
You may find that using the Launchpad Answer Tracker will be more helpful:

Maybe you can answer where you feel the problem lies and I will take it away 
from there. 
Memory or otherwise.

This is a core dump of the issue that I get when i run the dpkg
--configure -a.

If you could look at this and let me know if there is a reasonable
solution I would be appreciative.
