[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Xu Zhen (xuzhen666)]

I also met the "Software interrupt forced exit: Segmentation Fault" bug after upgrading from 20.04 to 22.04

I recompiled the package on my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~xuzhen666/+archive/ubuntu/lts) for 22.04 without any modifications, and it works well.

The package in official repository is imported from Debian unstable, maybe the different compilers or libraries cause this on Ubuntu.

"Software interrupt forced exit: Segmentation Fault" after upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04 as of today;
The workaround RESOLVE_IDS_TO_NAMES=false found on https://github.com/Tripwire/tripwire-open-source/issues/48 did not help: error occurs later but is still there

[Alexis Wilke (alexis-m2osw)]

I tested all the previously working solutions and it still crashed (as reported by others).

Xu Zhen solution (see comment #3), however, worked like a charm. I installed his version from his PPA and no crash on --init and on --check. So recompiling with the correct dependencies has to be just it. It would be great if the official package would do that so we don't have to rely on the community to get a non-crashing version in Ubuntu.

[Stephen E. Dudek (sdudek48174)]

I recently upgraded a system that had been running Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and encountered the same "Software interrupt forced exit: Segmentation Fault" bug. I've had no issues with tripwire going all the way back to Ubuntu 12 for this system.

I also tested this on a parallel system that I set up the same way. It also segfaults in the same manner as the production system.

To echo what Alexis Wilke said, I have tried all the other suggestions and they all segmentation fault, but have stopped short installing Xu Zhen's Personal Package Archives. I echo all the sentiments expressed in comment #5.

Lastly, I have rebuilt tripwire from source, and it no longer produces the segmentation fault.
