Package: dpkg Version: 1.9.21 Severity: important Hi,
Whilst using dselect (apt method) to upgrade an old machine with little disk, I ran out of disk space, and noticed that dpkg SEGVd (log below). This strikes me as very bad behaviour... Preparing to replace time 1.7-9 (using .../t/time/time_1.7-11_i386.deb) ... dpkg: error processing /ming/pool/main/t/time/time_1.7-11_i386.deb (--unpack): failed to write status record about `plum' to `/var/lib/dpkg/status': No space left on device dpkg: error while cleaning up: unable to flush updated status of `time': Bad file descriptor E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg recieved a segmentation fault.
