Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: debconf
Running the adept updater via the system tray icon and updating to the
latest releases for 7.10 beta, I noticed that when I had it showing me
details, I was seeing "stack smashing detected" warnings and then perl
was being aborted which corresponds to the packages that failed and
caused the errors to be generated. This ultimately caused Adept to
error out with the following error "There was an error commiting
changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the
commit would break packages.". I have not yet tried to manually upgrade
via apt-get dist-upgrade to see if that fixes anything, though I don't
think it will. I'll probably try a reboot and see if any of the
packages that had been upgraded just needed to be in a clean state or
something.
This was on a fresh install of 7.10 beta2 that I've updated every couple
of days as I've had time to play with things.
