segfault during execution of post-inst script

[Álvaro M. Recio]

Binary package hint: update-manager

During upgrade to Natty, after updates were installed, a dialog informed me that the upgrade has been cancelled (it's in Spanish, so I don't know the exact wording in English). As suggested, I'm reporting the bug and attaching all relevant files.

Thanks for your report.

The error is

There is a segfault in a program called from nspluginwrapper postinst script. Affecting to nspluginwrapper.

I had the same problem during my upgrade to Natty.
At least in my case, the cause of the problem seems to be google-talkplugin (x86_64).
Temporarily removing it while performing the upgrade circumvented the problem.

The nspluginwrapper postinst script runs "nspluginwrapper -a -v -u", which (in my case) segfaults while executing something in libnpgoogletalk64.so (see attached backtrace).
