Bug#1278: dpkg seg faults with NIS
Package: dpkg
Version: 0.93.70
When trying to install anything with dpkg it seg faults after unpacking
the files. I straced it and it seems to die when closing a socket to
the ypserv. Not sure why it was doing this :) It happens with .67 as
well.
We're using a 1.2.13 kernel and NIS, the machine it dies on is the
NIS server actually.
