Bug#25317: dpkg segfaults reproducibly
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.23.2
On most of my machines I have had dpkg segfault during my (convoluted?)
upgrade script. Finally I have the presence of mind to report this
situation. It only happens in the devel directory. And the problem went
away after I upgraded gcc and libc6-dev (ncurses3.4-dev was the only other
package needing to be upgraded from devel). I'm saving the core file in
case you want it. Here is a transcript:
