Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.23.2
On most of my machines I have had dpkg segfault during my (convoluted?)
upgrade script. Finally I have the presence of mind to report this
situation. It only happens in the devel directory. And the problem went
away after I upgraded gcc and libc6-dev (ncurses3.4-dev was the only other
package needing to be upgraded from devel). I'm saving the core file in
case you want it. Here is a transcript:

Thanks. Yes, I would like the coredump, please. Either gzip and mail
it to me at ian@chiark.greenend.org.uk, or put it up for anon-ftp or
www or in your home directory on master.
Thanks,

Changes:
dpkg (1.9.0) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Things should mostly work OpenBSD 2.8 as well now
* Added a --status-pipe option.
* Fixed several memleaks.
* Profiled dpkg.
* Reworked lib/parse.c:parsedb(). Instead of using getc(), then
calling varbufaddc(), it now reads the entire file at once into a
huge buffer, then moves pointers around, to do the parsing. This
gave a speedup of 33% on a dual celeron 333, when reading status and
available.
* various other speedups.
* Removed all --smallmem code, as smallmem and largemem now actually
use about the same amount of memory, and largemem is faster. Both
--largemem and --smallmem are now obselete options, and will print
a warning if used. Closes: Bug#84905, #67528
* Initialize unitialized variables. This should solve several
segfaults. Closes: Bug#25317(plus 9 others, thru the beauty of
merges)
* Found that when working with dependency cycles, and part of the cycle
was a provide, the provider was not being considered, so the cycle
could not be broken. Closes: Bug#87985(and 3 others)
* Update German translation, Closes: Bug#80529,#80532,#87581
* Update French translation, Closes: Bug#65284,#85035,#87238

* remove --import option from dpkg-statoverride, Closes: Bug#81358
* Replace nfmalloc implementation with obstack. Added obstack.[ch] to
optlib, for non-GNU systems.

* Fix typo in start-stop-daemon manpage. Closes: Bug#88225
* Add dpkg-checkbuilddeps to check if build dependencies are satisfied

Closes: Bug#86453,#83812,#60717,#74372,#67896,#60717,#13961
