This is strange. I re-upgraded to 2.6.1-1ubuntu3 and it didn't make any difference -- that is, gnome-terminal still worked but evolution didn't. Then I noticed bug #133786 and completely purged and then reinstalled evolution as suggested there. This did indeed fix the problem with evolution, too (and without downgrading libc6). I'm now pretty sure that it is the same bug, as it is also about a Bus error related to package upgrades and on amd64.
> * What version of the libc6 package did you have installed before > 2.6.1-1ubuntu3 ? /var/log/dpkg.log may be helpful if you don't know offhand. According to dpkg.log, I had libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu2 installed previously, and libc6 2.6.1-1ubuntu1 shortly before that (I think without even a reboot in between; I upgraded from feisty to gutsy just yesterday). > * Could you please strace one of the crashing programs and attach the result > to the bug report ? Sorry, too late, since unfortunately I forgot to do the strace before trying to reinstall evolution. > * Could you run "ldconfig" and see if that helps (or, with libc6 > 2.6.1-1ubuntu3, "ldconfig.real") ? I actually tried that (both ldconfig and ldconfig.real) before I downgraded to 2.6.1-1ubuntu1 and afterwards as well. It didn't change anything. > * I take it this is only happening on one computer. How new is that computer > ? Have you had other crashes on it ? I have only one computer with gutsy around at the moment, which was bought in February 2006. I don't recall any crashes which couldn't be traced to some software error. -- 2.6.1-1ubuntu3 makes apps crash with Bus error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
