  • Bug#1091898: dselect in unstable crashes since most recent apt-get upda

    From Liam Stitt@1:229/2 to All on Thu Jan 2 09:50:01 2025

    Package: dselect
    Version: 1.22.12
    Severity: grave
    Justification: renders package unusable
    X-Debbugs-Cc: stittl@cuug.ab.ca

    Hi. dselect has decided to crash based on whatever changed the last time
    I upgraded my system an hour or two ago.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) start dselect from command line (as root or regular user)
    2) choose option 2, select
    3) usual installed-package list appears
    4) type / to search
    5) bus error

    If you need more information to chase this down, I'm glad to help.

    Following Julian's gdb steps, this is the output I get after the sigbus:

    It may be relevant given the above that I still have deborphan installed.
