dpkg SEGFAULT with upgrade using gcc-3.4 (or 4.0) repos
Hello all,
So I've just gotten bit by a SEGFAULT during a dpkg upgrade
using the 3.4 (or I guess gcc-4.0 archive). This occurred
after --force'ing the /usr/lib64 issue with the libc6 upgrade.
The messages can be found below. Any suggestions about how to
fix this?
Thanks a bunch,
Scott
