Bug#670979: apt: rred segfaults on apt-get update (Re: apt update segfaults)
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.2
Followup-For: Bug #670979
I have a desktop and a laptop running Debian Sid/AMD64 and I have observed
rred crashes when apt-get updating on both of them recently.
Prerequisites:
A fairly standard Debian Sid system on AMD64 platform.
Steps to reproduce:
Do an apt-get update
What happens:
Update stops abruptly with this message:
E: Method rred has died unexpectedly!
E: Sub-process rred received a segmentation fault.
How to recover:
Run apt-get update again. It most likely won't crash again
Reproducibility:
Rare. Reproduces very infrequently, maybe 1 out of 10 updates.
