Subject: Segmentation fault

Package: libtext-charwidth-perl
Version: 0.04-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

The install-info script was yelling some segfaults, so I traced the
problem until I found that CharWidth is the real issue:

cosetti:/tmp# perl /usr/lib/perl5/Text/CharWidth.pm
Segmentation fault

any hints?

I don't have that problem on any of my machines (i386, alpha and
sparc).

Could you please try to upgrade perl?

The current version of perl in testing is 5.8.7-9.

I have the following on one of my machines running i386 unstable:

dpkg -l libc6 perl-base libtext-charwidth-perl
ii libc6 2.3.5-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data
ii libtext-charwidth-perl 0.04-3 get display widths of characters on the terminal
ii perl-base 5.8.7-8 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister

Whereas on an i386 testing, I have:

dpkg -l libc6 perl-base libtext-charwidth-perl
ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data
ii perl-base 5.8.4-8 The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister

A better bet might be to install a supported kernel:
