I hit a <ahem> small problem while installing packages from
Incoming... Bash now dumps core on startup. And one of the interesting side
effects of this is that I can't install/remove packages anymore:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~chrish/deb] #dpkg -i libc5_5.4.33-5_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 53797 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libc5 5.4.33-5 (using libc5_5.4.33-5_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing libc5_5.4.33-5_i386.deb (--install):
subprocess pre-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core
dumped
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc5_5.4.33-5_i386.deb
Exit 1
... since many packages have installation scripts that are bash
scripts. Needless to say, this is *bad*.
I'll give as much detail as I can... Hopefully someone else can figure out
what the problem is and fix the relevant packages. I'll post a followup
message once I've fixed the problem on my machine
I did:

The bash install failed because I didn't have libreadlineg2 installed. Then
at some point in the middle (can't more precise, I can't scroll back far
enough) all the prerm's started dumping core when invoked.
Here's the current state of my system:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[~chrish/deb] #dpkg --audit
The following packages are in a mess due to serious problems during
installation. They must be reinstalled for them (and any packages
that depend on them) to function properly:
metamail An implementation of MIME.
mount Tools for mounting and manipulating filesystems.
The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
