Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
I have /var/log in tmpfs. Then the directory /var/log/apt does not exist by default.
Then, when running apt-get {install/purge} there is the following segmentation fault on accessing /var/log/
Example:
apt-get purge chromium (last part of strace -e trace=open below)
Removing chromium ...
--- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 0 (0) ---
open("/
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Segmentation fault
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04
