[Bug 509118] Re: package tzdata 2009u-0ubuntu0.9.10 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault) - this happened on more than one attempt

[Brian Murray]

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
application being used by 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!

** Changed in: tzdata (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
