I also had this problem. The update manager kept complaining about a corrupted cache for over 2 weeks and finally today it started to segfault.Update-manager, apt-get, aptitude, all failed to work properly, so i went and removed apt cache like you did:
sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin and this fixed it...Though this solved it, I think there should be a more friendly way over this... -- apt-get: segmentation fault (jaunty) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/341402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
