[Bug 1703079] Re: package apt-xapian-index 0.47ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139. Subsequent attempt succeeded

[Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot]

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
the application being used for 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!

inappropriately; please just reply to this message indicating so.]

Title:
  package apt-xapian-index 0.47ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 139. Subsequent attempt succeeded

Status in apt-xapian-index package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I did the original reinstall because apt-xapian-index crashed. I
  forced the package to download fresh for the first (failed) reinstall
  and for the second (successful) one. All three .deb files had the same
  checksum, though.

  Other programs that have crashed this evening: update-notifier,
  ubuntu-sso-client, apport, dpkg, gnome-shell, oneconf-service and
  py3compile. All failed while running as daemons or cron jobs, and I
  became aware of their failures only because of dialog boxes announcing
  them.
