[Bug 965028] Re: frontend crashed with SIGSEGV in localtime_r at plt()

[Joan Miquel Torres Rigo]

I had the same problem and I could fix it by manually installing
libssl1.0.0 from:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libssl-dev

I needed to kill a process which were locking
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat before (I don't know if only killing this
process could be solved the problem).

After that, I finally could execute 'apt-get dist-upgrade' and it exits
normally.
