Re: Segmentation fault - apt-get again
Patrick:
This used to happen to me all the time, until I changed the terminal
emulator that I was using to telnet to the machine. (I think I changed
from Windows telnet to TeraTerm Pro.) I don't know if it's only a
coincidence, and I can't begin to explain why the choice of a terminal
emulator would make any difference, but it worked for me. If you're
running the command from a console, then I can't help you, because
I never had any problems with that.

*Possible* faulty memory. If you try compiling something like the
kernel then
that will tell you nearly for certain.
