Package: apt
Version: 0.3.12
Severity: normal

I get this when trying to run [I]nstall from dselect with the apt-get
installation method (reproducable):


Reading Package Lists... Done

/usr/lib/dpkg//methods/apt/install: line 41: 24984 Segmenteringsfel
$APTGET $OPTS dselect-upgrade
Some errors occurred while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again
Press enter to continue.
