Hello, I recently tried installing gnome on a (sarge) machine at my lab. All was well until it tried to set-up fam.
[...cut...] Setting up fam (2.7.0-5) ... Starting file alteration monitor: /etc/init.d/fam: line 40: 25206 Segmentation fault start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- $FAMOPTS invoke-rc.d: initscript fam, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing fam (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 139 [...cut...] Errors were encountered while processing: fam gnome-desktop-environment gnome E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) fam segfaulted. I tried /usr/sbin/famd from the command line. It segfaulted. I tried removing/var/cache/apt/archives/fam_2.7.0-5_i386.deb and reinstalling. It still segfaulted. What's strange is that a number of other (sarge) machines haven't had any trouble with fam. I checked all the packages that fam depends: versions on the machine where fam crashes are the same as on a machine where I haven't seen the fam problems. I ran 'ldd' on /usr/sbin/famd on both machines: same library dependencies. I checked the libraries: all existed on both machines and all sizes (after resoling symb links) are identical. Any idea what could be causing the problem? Is there anything else I should investigate? Many thanks, Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
