Bug#117719: i'm having similar problems

["Oliver George \(Boyer\)" <Oliver.George@norske-skog.com.au>]

Hi, 

This bug is similar to something which was/is vexing me.  I built a new
linux box using the new unstable boot floppies for woody.

> bywdeb001:/home/opgeorge# apt-get check > log
> Segmentation fault

the same error happened with apt-get install.

The problem wen't away and then came back, I just got rid of it again by
doing: 

> bywdeb001:/var/lib/apt/lists# dpkg --configure -a
> bywdeb001:/var/lib/apt/lists# apt-get check   
> Reading Package Lists... Done
> Building Dependency Tree... Done

<guess type="gut reaction">So i think the database is getting
corrupt?</guess>

If/when it happens again what files would be useful for me to submit?


cheers, Oliver.
