Bug#81829: libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6.0 segfaults even after rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny2
Followup-For: Bug #81829
A couple of days ago I started getting messages like
aptitude[3460]: segfault at 7eff79ada000 ip 00007eff7bb3a405 sp 00007fff011be790 error 7 in libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6.so.4.6.0[7eff7bb13000+bd000]
associated with cron jobs for debtags and apt-show-versions.
Finding this bug, I tried rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin, but the error
persists. The line above was from aptitude update after the rm.
gdb is not installed on the system.
I did not updates in the days before the error started.
This is a pretty important bug for me, as I can't update the system.
/var is ext3 on top of dm-crypt on top of lvm on top of software
RAID. System is still mostly lenny, though the kernel is not.
gdb is not installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
