Subject: dpkg --configure -a dumps core

Date: Tue, 26 May 1998 09:50:47 -0400

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.22

When completing a recent install (which was suspended for a day or two
during package configuration):


dpkg: ../../../dpkg/packages.c:191: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
E: Sub-process returned an error code
Some errors occured while unpacking. I'm going to configure the
packages that were installed. This may result in duplicate errors
or errors caused by missing dependencies. This is OK, only the errors
above this message are important. Please fix them and run [I]nstall again
Press enter to contiune.

/usr/lib/dpkg//methods/apt/install: line 14: 31536 Aborted                 (core dumped) dpkg --configure -a


# file /var/cache/apt/archives/core
/var/cache/apt/archives/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'dpkg' (signal 6), Intel 80386, version 1
# 

[Or is this an apt bug? I seem to be using apt 0.0.13

I'm saving the core dump for a week.

I ran the thing under strace, and it looks like it's failing
right after reading diversions:
