I have had more or less the same backtrace (some more LC_LOCALE) things today while upgrading gnome-capplets-data.

On a clean install of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) from the official CD, on a uniprocessor system, I just got several crashes during the first update of the system (via the Update Manager):

For example, setting a new version of update-manager itself (quoted from the update details log):

Setting up update-manager (1:0.87.27) ...
*** glibc detected *** scrollkeeper-update: corrupted double-linked list

In my opinion, this makes the Ubuntu installation risky to use for the "normal user", i.e. I don't know the side-effects of these crashes at update time, and I will have to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch when this bug is resolved.

Reinstalled Ubuntu 8.04 once again, and same thing happened. The package "update-manager" and "rhythmbox" couldn't get updated because during their setting up "scrollkeeper-update" crashed with the aforementioned error. So, to be more precise, the number of crashes is 2 during the update -- the first update after clean install of Ubuntu 8.04.

One more thing, /var/crash is empty (I looked for hidden files as well, ls -la). Is this normal, I think not? If so, would you consider another bug report about this?

I ran into this bug three times. This makes upgrading packages a dangerous operation, especially dist-upgrades.
Workaround: if the error comes, run "sudo scrollkeeper-rebuilddb". It will take a long time, but makes the problem go away (for a while).
