Binary package hint: yelp

Source Package: ubuntu

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch)
Release: 9.10

$ apt-cache policy yelp
yelp:
  Installed: 2.25.1-0ubuntu5

  Version table:

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Since I upgraded to Karmic alpha1 - yelp immediately disappear when launched.

Trace from gdb yelp:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

However launched with "sudo yelp", it seems to work fine: I was able to be guided to launchpad using this.
This looks like some file protection problem.

Hope this helps.
