First of all, thank you so much for your help Ondrej! At this point I think it is probably this bug. I tried running the test cases described in the bug ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524366 ) from the CLI and indeed got a segmentation fault in the one other people were getting a seg fault in and the one that was supposed to complete fine did indeed complete fine. I then tried upgrading the libmysqlclient15off library to the upstream debian version that was supposed to fix the bug by grabbing it from:
http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/mysql- dfsg-5.0/libmysqlclient15off_5.0.51a-24+lenny2+spu1_amd64.deb I then reran the test case the bug tracker provided and it did not crash any more. BUT before I could test my apache PHP test case, Ubuntu's package manager upgraded some packages and subsequently went on to delete mysql, apache, and a bunch of packages that depend on mysql from my computer! Apparently since the version number for the newly install libmysqlclient15off was 5.0.51a-24+lenny2+spu1 and the "current" Ubuntu version is 5.1.30really5.0.75-0ubuntu10.2 it thought it needed to remove the one I installed and upgrade it. I'm not sure why it also deleted all these other packages without telling me first. So now I think I have all the proper packages reinstalled correctly, but I don't want that to happen again. Before I can test apache I need to figure out the proper way of installing this package so that Ubuntu doesn't freak out. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #524366 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524366 -- apache2 crashed with SIGSEGV in pdo_parse_params() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418220 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
