Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.10-1+b2 Severity: minor
Hi I have the following situation: $ dpkg --list dbus-1 Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-=====================-=====================-========================================================== rc dbus-1 0.23.4-8 simple interprocess messaging system dbus-1 is a long-time not anymore in sid. So I wanted to remove all remaining configuration files of that package on my System (as /etc/init.d/dbus-1). So I startet to simulate, what happens, when I want to purge the remaining files, via aptitude: lorien:/etc/init.d# aptitude -s --purge-unused -D -v -V purge dbus-1 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database... Done Package dbus-1 is not installed, so it will not be removed The following packages will be REMOVED: Segmentation fault lorien:/etc/init.d# and on dmesg I get the following additional error-message: aptitude[16198]: segfault at 4ffa06dc eip b7b93633 esp bfb187ec error 4 That is not the only package with this behaviour: I tested it with some of the packages shown when I let me show the removed but not purged packages with: "dpkg --list | grep ^rc": I did not test it with all the packages, but taking some of the packages names, still present in that list, but not anymore in the debian archive for sid, get this simulation purging the package to segfault (I tested it with libsvn0 or xserver-common, akode ...).
