Hello Domenico,

recent upgrade of gawk in squeeze-backports breaks, as in subject,
"so-to-root".
I noticed the problem trying to run synaptic.

The output is:

$ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic

awk: error while loading shared libraries: libsigsegv.so.0: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory

[...]

Downgrading to squeeze version solves the problem.
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
Hi Jeroen,
thank you very much for your attention!
I also believe that this problem is very strange, however I will answer your questions.

1) AMD64
2) Several times, in different ways: synaptic, aptitude...
3) ~$ dpkg -l gawk 'libsigsegv*'

However,  inspired by your suggestions, I installed manually libsigsegv0 and now, in fact, everything works perfectly. Evidently, for some reason, the upgrade of gawk has not brought with him the other package.

Thank you very much again,
Domenico
