[Bug 43977] desktop-file-utils -q always segfaults

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

Public bug reported:

Affects: desktop-file-utils (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: desktop-file-utils

Cannot install many packeges because post install / configure scripts
would execute "update-desktop-database -q" which however always
segfaults. The only information I was able to get:

(gdb) run -q
Starting program: /usr/bin/update-desktop-database -q
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)
(no debugging symbols found)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
