telinit crashed with SIGSEGV in main()

[Ken Arnold]

Binary package hint: upstart

This is probably the same as the other two reports on the issue, but I got it in a different situation: upgrading libc6. At least, I think that's where it came up.

Here's what I think is the evidence:

Preparing to replace libc6 2.8~20080505-0ubuntu6 (using .../libc6_2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libc6 ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Setting up libc6 (2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7) ...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Processing triggers for libc6 ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
