2017-10-20 23:25:42 Brian Murray description The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding dpkg. This problem was most recently seen with version 1.18.4ubuntu1.1, the problem page at https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/fbab11d5ffef5f64e1affa33c6e5bf0330075104 contains more details. [Impact] There are a ton of crash reports in the Error Tracker from dpkg about dpkg-split which cause dpkg to abort. It'd be good to get this resolved in Ubuntu 16.04. [Test Case] Verify that the new version of dpkg does not appear in the Error Tracker. One might also try the following: 1) dpkg -i /tmp/cats 2) Observe dpkg-split aborting With the version of the package in -proposed that should not happen. [Regression Potential] Little as we are just changing the error handling mechanism. The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding dpkg.
