Hello Julian, or anyone else affected, Accepted util-linux into artful-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util- linux/2.30.1-0ubuntu4.2 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-artful to verification-done-artful. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-artful. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .

It seems that's what caused the verification to fail for bug 1732865. The following fixes have been committed upstream: from 2.30: https://github.com/karelzak/util- linux/commit/0145d84a381fc2fcd7d37e0dbf3d9dff69609ecd from 2.32: https://github.com/karelzak/util- linux/commit/95f09bc63c564c50ec2c393352801cc056faaea2 I plan to backport them to xenial (both patches); and artful, bionic (second patch, they are > 2.30). [Regression potential] The worst possible regression is that lscpu would fail to correctly report min/max frequencies, but it seems unlikely, as we're only adding checks against null pointers / move an atof into a loop. [Test case] Extract attached segvtest.tar.gz and run lscpu -s segvtest and check that it does not crash (this removes min mhz file for cpu #0 for testing).
