Bug#2613: dselect get SIG 11
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.0.17
I've just had a problem with dselect getting a segmentation fault.
I'm afraid it's not very reproducible, but I've got a core dump if you
want a copy. I had finished the initial run of dselect after
installing using the 0.93R6 base disks, and then decided to install
the source package. I modified the access method, updated the
packages, selected the source package, and I think I went through the
ispell dependancy resolution screen. The fault occoured between
pressing RETURN and the screen changing.
