Hi, I don't know what I did, but the apt-get results in segmentation fault:

Code:

sh-3.1# apt-get install gcc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  binutils cpp cpp-4.3 gcc-4.3 libc6-dev libgmp3c2 libgomp1 libmpfr1ldbl

  automake1.9 libtool flex bison gdb gcc-doc libmudflap0-4.3-dev gcc-4.3-doc
  libgcc1-dbg libgomp1-dbg libmudflap0-dbg glibc-doc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  binutils cpp cpp-4.3 gcc gcc-4.3 libc6-dev libgmp3c2 libgomp1 libmpfr1ldbl

3 not fully installed or removed.
Segmentation fault
sh-3.1# rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sh-3.1# apt-get install gcc
Segmentation fault

I tried searching results online and reboot, but none of them works. Reboot makes it temporarily seemingly to work like above, but after the first run of apt-get it returns to error again.
Thanks,
Ted

Do you get any errors or warnings in /var/log/messages and/or dmesg when this happens?

THanks, there were no messages, but I managed to solve it, I don't know why, cause the internet connection is bad today (F*** my isp) so I tried rm the .bin and apt-get until it worked. Got it to work after 4-5times.
Thanks though.

Oh ok... So no more problems then? If so, mark your thread as solved if you can, thanks!

Cheers,
