the problem stated by this bug is that the maintainer scripts fail with a segmentation fault. the scripts segfault since bash segfaults, and the scripts start with #!/bin/bash. changing the shebang line to sh instead of bash (sh on my system is dash). i also downloaded a copy of the -17 libc6, unpacked it, and changed the maintainer scripts to /bin/sh, and repacked it. installing this causes the problems to go away. so apparently, the problem is with -17.0.1 causing bash to segfault. i have not notice any other programs segfaulting. -- gram
