I am seeing this problem on my NSLU2. I have cron-apt configured to run
daily, and everyday I wake up to the segfault email by the cron job :(.
removing /var/cache/apt/*.bin allows me to have one pleasant encounter
with apt, not more. So, currently I added 'rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin' to
my daily wakeup tasks (those include brushing my teeth), which has the
effect of me staying late in bed.
I had debian installed on this NSLU2 for a while, so I haven't suffered
the installer problem, but I wanted to make sure that this problems is
not an installer-only problem, although I realize it may be more serious
for the installer.
