Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.15
Severity: normal
When I try dpkg -l, it segfaults on one box, first I suspected the
status/available file, but when I copied those to a box where dpkg did
not segfault, I couldn't reproduce the problem..
Then, I ltraced dpkg, and noticed the following line:
printf("%c%c%c %-14.14s %-14.14s %.*s\n", '|', '|', '/', "Name", "Version", 40, "Description" <unfinished ...>
As I see it, the format string expects three chars, then three
strings, however, it gets three chars, two strings, an int, and a
third string as argument. If I'm not mistaken, then that 40 causes it
to try and access 0x40, which is probably not good..
The gzipped status and available files can be found at
http://midgard.debian.net/~mhp/dpkg/
(the ltrace log is there too)
Cheers,
