Package: apt Version: 0.6.42 Severity: important Tags: d-i apt-cache search <anything> seems to segfault on alpha (i386 and sparc are ok). 0.6.41 was ok. Unfortunatly this prevents d-i from working since it uses apt-cache search to work out what kernel packages are available for install. I built apt and got a backtrace, here's the result. (gdb) r search apt Starting program: /root/tmp/apt-0.6.42/build/bin/apt-cache search apt Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
