Binary package hint: apt
What should happen: Apt doesn't sigsev... apt-cache should search, display package info, etc. apt-get should download and install packages, upgrade the system, etc.
What is happening: apt* (including adept, aptitude, synaptic, etc) sigsev. 'apt-get source hello', 'apt-get update', 'apt-cache search foobar', 'apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop', etc all cause a sigsev. Please view the strace and gdb backtraces.
What I have tried: reinstall apt, reinstall libc6, reboot, remove /var/lib/apt/lists/*, reset sources.list to default, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a .
Please see the attached files for backtraces and straces. |
Binary package hint: apt
Under certain circumstance apt segfaults on every operation until the cache is rebuild or deleted. This includes all tools that are build on top of libapt.
It turns out the bug can be fixed by checking for a NULL value in the filename string. The attached (one-liner) patch adresses the issue.
Please accept this as a StableReleaseUpdate. |

TEST CASE:
I have not found a way to reliable trigger the bug, so I would suggest we test it indirectly
1. install the apt from -proposed
2. run apt-get update
3. run apt-get dist-upgrade
4. run apt-cache search apt
5. run apt-get install --reinstall synaptic
verify that all of the above commands work as expected and do not segfault or misbehave. |
