Re: Segfault on apt-get (sarge)

Usually libc6 is too blame. If you still have the old one in

Tried rolling back to libc6_2.3.2-9, but that didn't help. I'm not
exactly sure what I was running before, and of course I did an `apt-get
clean` out of habit.
So I'm seeing this both with that libc and with libc6_2.3.2.ds1-10. And
changing the cache limit didn't fix it, either.
