I can't get it to build from source in a cowbuilder "sid" chroot on my laptop, which is currently running Ubuntu Bionic with the 5.0.0-20-generic #21~18.04.1-Ubuntu kernel.
running bowtie2-build --usage (or anything) results in a segfault [34760.926015] bowtie2-align-s[19983]: segfault at 7fff11b4bff8 ip 00007f14b12a393d sp 00007fff11b4c000 error 6 in libdl-2.29.so [7f14b12a3000+1000] [34760.926022] Code: e8 28 f7 ff ff e9 42 ff ff ff e8 3e f7 ff ff 66 66 2e 0f 1f 84 00 00 00 00 00 0f 1f 00 48 83 3d 90 26 00 00 00 41 54 49 89 fc <55> 48 89 f5 53 74 7c 48 8d 35 05 fc ff ff 48 8d 3d 76 27 00 00 e8 But maybe it is just my system and someone else could confirm on a real Debian sid/unstable system without virtualization/chroot/containerization.
