I couldn't see anything similar in the BTS and so tried to run reportbug but get: File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 485 if email_addy != def_email: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax So I can't even report it.No, I'm using mutt 1.5.13-1 and it doesn't segfault. In the other hand I, think that reportbug doesn't need mutt for a bug report.
So I'm guessing that the fairly dramatic upgrade this morning has changed something somewhere (not mutt) to cause the problem.
Following the instructions during upgrade, I ran the recommended script:
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-18) unstable; urgency=low
In version 2.86.ds1-16 of the sysv-rc package released 2006-09-06,
the update-rc.d script was broken. When used to to update symlinks
it would remove all symlinks for a init.d script if such symlinks
existed, and add them if they were missing. This broke all packages
being upgraded after the new version was installed, as their init.d
scripts will no longer be executed. This problem was fixed in
version 2.86.ds1-18, but the broken packages will stay broken until
their postinst scripts are executed again.
Those with packages being broken from this bug can fix it by using
'apt-get --reinstall install package' on the affected packages. A
quick way out is to reinstall all the packages with scripts in
/etc/init.d/.
for p in `dpkg -S /etc/init.d/*|cut -d: -f1|sort -u`; do
apt-get --reinstall install -y $p
done
I suspect this is related in some way.
The point about reportbug is not that it is related to the problem but
that I can't report it :)
Thanks Clive
