[Bug 708537] Re: package mysql-server-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.9 failed to install/upgrade: segementation fault in debconf frontend

[Brian Murray]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.  Reviewing your log files attached to this bug report it
seems that a package failed to install due to a segmentation fault in
application being used by the package installation process.
Unfortunately, this bug report isn't very useful in its current state
and a crash report would be much more useful.  Could you try recreating
this issue by enabling apport to catch the crash report 'sudo service
apport start force_start=1' and then trying to install the same package
again?  This process will create a new bug report so I am marking this
one as Invalid.  Thanks again for helping out!

** Changed in: debconf (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Tags added: package-install-segfault
