Most excellent! I found a workaround. First run apt-get -f install and
get the segmentation fault again:
$ sudo apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Segmentation fault
However, run it again, and smile when you don't see the segmentation fault!
$ sudo apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Indeed, I can now continue on with what I was doing with aptitude:
$ sudo aptitude install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Reading extended state information
Initializing package states... Done
Reading task descriptions... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
bluez-compat [4.42-2]
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/80.3kB of archives. After unpacking 242kB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
Phew!
Any ideas on how I got into this situation? The only unusual thing I did
was "uninstall" some packages that were recommended after selecting
blueman for installation in aptitude. This was mostly just
python-all-dev, I think, which just wanted to install python 2.4 which
seems unnecessary since python 2.5 is installed.
