I am one of the gawk maintainers. I am surprised by this problem: libsigsegv.so.0 is part of the libsigsegv0 package, which is a (pre-)dependency for the new gawk. To help you I will need some additional information about your system. Can you answer the following questions: - What is the architecture of your installation (amd64, i386, ...)? - How did you install the backport (synaptic, dpkg, apt-get, ...)? - What is the output of "dpkg -l gawk 'libsigsegv*'" (with the version from backports installed)? Kind regards, Jeroen Schot
