[Bug 1044904] Re: Installer crashed on fresh install of 12.04 - kernel: [ 690.274407] plugininstall.p[9015]: segfault at 3c307ab0 ip 00007fa3130515b9 sp 00007fffd234cfd0 error 4 in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0[7fa312ffd000+120000]

I was able to install using 12.04.1 from a USB disk. During the install
I received an error message saying files do not match what is on the
disk, however I don't remember which files they were. The install was
able to continue through the error. However, the system now crashes
often, especially when installing packages such as vim. Any use of apt-
get can result in the entire system crashing.  A few times commands,
such as opening a file with emacs, result in a seg fault and a core
dump. Firefox will crash if pages have large amounts of Flash, and now
won't open any pages, even after restarting it. Thank you very much for
your help with this.
