So you had an apt with slink that worked (from the CDs?) and upgraded that
one with another apt (from stable-updates maybe?) and that segfaults?
Well, dont upgrade apt then... put it on hold in dselect.
If you find the problem and have a patch, we could make a new package for
slink, but I wont investigate slink bugs now, with potato on my mind. If you
want to run slink, just dont upgrade apt.
If you want to upgrade apt, upgrade to potato (apt-get dist-upgrade).
Yeah, I know packages in stable should be working... in my eyes potato is
stable, sorry, I dont use slink anymore, if I am not forced to recompile
(read recompile, not find and fix bugs in an outdated distribution).
