Package: debconf
Version: 0.2.44
Severity: grave
When I attempted to install debconf 0.2.44 it failed in the postinst:
Setting up debconf (0.2.44) ...
dpkg: error processing debconf (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped
Errors were encountered while processing:
debconf
E: Sub-process returned an error code (1)
zircon# file core
core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'http' (signal 11), Intel 80386, version 1
zircon# ls -l core
-rw------- 1 root root 327680 Nov 25 19:00 core
zircon# date
Thu Nov 25 19:05:49 GMT 1999
apt-get/dpkg dumped me back to a prompt, obviously. I then did
dpkg --configur debconf and it worked fine.
I have perl-5.005 version 5.005.03-4.
This system is more-or-less up to date with unstable.
It didn't do this when upgrading my Debian/Sparc box to 0.2.44, unfortunately.

Yeah, looks that way.
