Hello again I`ve nearly managed to upgrade cleanly from Slink/2.0.36 to Potato/2.2.13 with only problems of my own making except for one last thing, dselect won`t complete the installation of base-passwd. This is what it tells me: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, I am going to make the necessary updates now Reading passwd from /usr/share/base-passwd/passwd.master Reading group from /usr/share/base-passwd/group.master Reading passwd from /etc/passwd Reading shadow from /etc/shadow Reading group from /etc/group Adding group "video" (44) 1 changes have been made, rewriting files Writing passwd-file to /etc/passwd.upwd-write Replacing "/etc/passwd" with "/etc/passwd.upwd-write" Writing shadow-file to /etc/shadow.upwd-write Replacing "/etc/shadow" with "/etc/shadow.upwd-write" Writing group-file to /etc/group.upwd-write /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.postinst: line 57: 1554 Segmentation fault update-passwd --verbose dpkg: error processing base-passwd (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 Errors were encountered while processing: base-passwd installation script returned error exit status 100. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can anyone shed any light on this? Running the update-passwd command just returns a segmentation fault.
