strace apt-get update and see what the last few things are output. Speculating - maybe your cached deb database was corrupted (say by a neutrino hitting one of your memory bits) and saved to disk in a state which causes apt-get to try and access memory outside that allocated to it (i.e. segfault) This would be fixed by rebuilding your deb database, with apt-something or dpkg-something. cheers, Woody > > On Thu, 2003-04-03 at 12:24, Peter Chubb wrote: > > >>>>> "Adam" == Adam Hewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > Adam> Hi All, I am having some serious problems with apt on one of my > > Adam> servers...here is the output: > > > > I find that apt-get segfaults if you have too many sources in > > /etc/apt/sources.list --- try cutting them down. > > > > Peter c > -- > Adam Hewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ > More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- Woody -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
