Ach...I grabbed bash, libreadline2, libreadlineg2, *and* ldso with dselect through dpkg-ftp. Left me in the same marvelous state, but fortuneately I could still run ldconfig in a spare root shell that I already had running, and get back to a usable system and then do the installation bit-by-bit manually.
IIRC, dselect tried to install libreadline2, then libreadlineg2, then ldso -- it was hard to be sure, since the error messages were scrolling by so rapidly, but I think that the first seg fault came from the libreadline2, and after that everything failed -- except for ldconfig, of course ;)
