Kernel version and dpkg bug?



When I try to run 2.1.85 or 2.1.88, and install ncurses-base_1.9.9g-8.deb
(md5sum 9bb12011c945a1d425cbb5e4300dbaba), I get an error message about
being unable to set ownership of a symlink and then a "Segmentation
violation", and the package doesn't get installed. When I try to do the
same with 2.0.33, it works. This is bug #18575, as far as I can see.
Does anyone have a workaround or fix for 2.1.88?

(Using 2.0.33 is a workaround prints out four lines of "unaligned trap"
every few seconds, which makes using the console quite unpleasant.)
