Package: libc-bin Version: 2.10.2-6 Severity: normal Hi, today the installation of some packages by dpkg reported SEGFAULTS by control files. I tried to purge all newly installed packages but this did also fail. Neither purging nor reinstalling a package worked anymore. Finally I figured out that /sbin/ldconfig seems to be the responsible candidate for the SEGFAULT. I did some strace and found that the segfault happens after trying to open: /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache. I renamed /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache, after that anything works as usual. Find attached the SEGFAULTing /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache as well as the newly generated one.
