Package: libc6
Version: 2.7-9
Severity: normal
During an aptitude update I had the following:
makayla:/var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude -u
Preconfiguring packages ...

/var/lib/dpkg/info/libc6.postinst: line 393: 3449 Segmentation fault
ldconfig
I could not get the machine to respond after this and had to do a
shut-down and reboot by the power button.
After restart,
dpkg --configure -a
worked fine.
