I seem to be in a very troublesome spot... My dpkg segfaults in any needed situation: dpkg -i foo Segmentation fault Dselect: Update Okay Dselect: Select Segmentation fault dpkg --unpack foo Segmentation fault dpkg --help Okay What can I do? I downloaded the dpkg deb, used ar x, unpacked the tgz and copied the appropriate files, but it still segfaults. This might be related to the fact that my system crashed this morning with a kernel panic.
