StackTraceSource.txt shows the failure is because at the time debTranslationsIndex::Exists() is called, Language points to an invalid string.
Tracking this down will be non-trivial without a reproducer case. Is anyone who's seen this bug able to reproduce it at will? This bug report shows the problem was triggered by running 'apt-get --yes autoremove' as root (in an Italian locale). If the problem is reproducible, can someone please try running apt-get under valgrind? ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Wily) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497534 Title: apt-get crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1497534/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
