dup of #136769? (was: update manager crashes with bad file during 7.10 update)

Binary package hint: update-manager

As best I can tell some gzipped file is bad. End of var/log/dist-upgrade/term.log below:

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please add the log files from '/var/log/dist-upgrade/' to this bugreport as attachments to your bug report? Thanks in advance.

This looks like a duplicate of #136769 but we need the logs to be sure.

Attached is an archive of the log files related to the update manager crash I reported. Sorry if it's a duplicate of an already reported bug.

Thanks for following up .

The cause of the failure is :
=====
Setting up ttf-opensymbol (1:2.3.0-1ubuntu5) ...
Updating fontconfig cache...
Bus error
dpkg: error processing ttf-opensymbol (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 135
=====

probably a segfault in fc-cache. affecting to fontconfig.

Is it still an issue ? Are you able to reproduce it ?

Thanks.
