 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the developers failed (it does not generate an useful symbolic stack trace). This might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system at the time of the report. Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi,

I can reproduce this on an up to date Hardy. The segmentation faults happens before any real http action, therefore it's unimportant, which http url is used (existing or unknown hosts).

I tried to get a verbose backtrace, but I mostly get "no symbol" messages, though I install git-dbgsym and libcurl3-dbg. If you have any hints on getting a more detailed backtrace by installing specific packages, let me know.

[Martin Mai (mrkanister-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Thank you, Caspar Clemens, for your reply. In the backtrace itself there are information about what debug symbols need to be installed. Please attach it and I will have a look at it. Since you get an segmentation fault, a https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valgrind would also be great. Thanks in advance.
