I am affected as well. I'm using Linux Mint 17 on a 64-bit laptop. For me the error came immediately (or after downloading for apt-get update) and gave the following message : Segmentation fault E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i' E: Sub-process returned an error code
I used the debugger to determine that the offending line in apt-show- versions was line 55 : my $cache = AptPkg::Cache->new; The fix provided above worked. Deleting any files in /var didn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445436 Title: Segmentation faults in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1445436/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
