I found a solution in a pretty weird manner. I was going to back up my personal data onto a new HD and install Gusty from live CD as opposed to upgrading. As I rebooted, I was forced to do a manual fsck because it detected a bad file system. After looking at the partition, it was clear that my original HD had something wrong with it. After clearing out a bad inode, I discovered that somehow libdv in /usr/lib was corrupted. This is what was causing ldconfig to core dump; for me anyway.
If you are still having this problem, try booting into single user mode and running a manual fsck. I chose just to clear whatever node was detected as a problem (clearing it will be the default option in fsck). Please back up any data onto a separate media that you are afraid of losing before doing this though. -- issuing ldconfig causes Bus error and core dump, inhibits execution of postinst script for libgcc1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90004 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
