apt problem - ldconfig segmentation fault
I tried installing nmap a couple of days ago and ran into a bit of a
problem. ldconfig seems to have died with a segmentation fault. In the
past when I have had problems with apt they have resolved themselves in
a couple of days when a working version of a package appears but this
problem isn't fixing it self. I have had a good google for it but I
can't find anything particularly relevant. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
I am running testing with the 2.6.7 kernel on i386 (slightly off topic
question but I am sure I saw 2.6.8 appear and then disappear from
testing and I can't find kernel-image-2.6-386 in testing any more has
it been removed for some reason?)
