Please run it like this: # gdb apt-get (gdb) run install xpaint ..and if/when it dies with the segmentation fault give 'bt' command to gdb and send the output here or to me directly, that'll give a better idea where it crashes and why. Possibly it's a corrupted rpmdb or apt cache but in any case it shouldn't segfault... - Panu -
