[Bug 848907] Re: apt crashes on initial installation of oneiric

[Colin Watson]

This happened because regcomp fails on character ranges in the C.UTF-8
locale.  See discussion at http://lists.debian.org/debian-
glibc/2011/09/msg00114.html.  For now I'm going to back out this eglibc
change; C.UTF-8 is used during installation in various places and it's
far too risky to make this kind of basic change to its semantics at this
point in our release cycle.

Title:
  apt crashes on initial installation of oneiric

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I attempted to install today's Kubuntu oneiric-alternate-i386.iso
  build, and got the attached apt crash.  Unfortunately, and I'm sorry
  about this, I can't seem to reproduce it when I run the failing
  commands (basically 'apt-cdrom add' and 'apt-get update') by hand, and
  all I have to work with is a screenshot!

  I'll see if I can drill down further.  I don't think this is an
  isolated occurrence; the tester towards the end of bug 420080 seems to
  be experiencing the same symptoms.
