Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
I have /var/log in tmpfs. Then the directory /var/log/apt does not exist by default. Then, when running apt-get {install/purge} there is the following segmentation fault on accessing /var/log/apt/history.log Example: apt-get purge chromium (last part of strace -e trace=open below) Removing chromium ... --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) --- open("/etc/localtime", O_RDONLY) = 4 open("/var/log/apt/history.log", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Segmentation fault Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apt-get -- apt-get segmentation fault when /var/log in tmpfs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/595795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
