Package: python3.9-minimal
Version: 3.9.2-1
Severity: grave
When attempting to install python3.9-minimal on a system that has been
upgraded from buster, during postinst a segmentation fault is reported
and the scriptlet terminates with exit code 139.
After extracting the postinst scriptlet and doing some testing with the
half-installed package, I found out that the error is occurring in line
51 when some files are to be byte-compiled. Here the Python interpreter
throws a segmentation fault (can easily be reproduced by extracting the
postinst script and then manually executing it on the installed but not
yet configured package).
This, of course, breaks the installation of various components that are
relying on Python like reportbug and certbot.
Also, uninstalling everything that is part of Python and manually
clearing any files and directories related to Python doesn't solve the
issue, either, and the same error is still occurring.
My system in use: Debian GNU/Linux 11.2 (bullseye) with
bullseye-backports, kernel 5.14.9-2~bpo11+1, and libc6 2.31-13+deb11u2.
