Could you please be a bit more specific?

And as you haven't used reportbug:
What system is this (testing?)? Any special config/sources?

$ export LANG=C.UTF-8
$ apt-get install package/unstable -s

As you see, none of those segfault for me.


Segfaults could also be caused by damaged binary caches,
which would indicate hardware issues.
