[Bug 1703079] [NEW] package apt-xapian-index 0.47ubuntu13 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139. Subsequent attempt succeeded

[Evan Burkitt]

Public bug reported:

I did the original reinstall because apt-xapian-index crashed. I forced
the package to download fresh for the first (failed) reinstall and for
the second (successful) one. All three .deb files had the same checksum,
though.

Other programs that have crashed this evening: update-notifier, ubuntu-
sso-client, apport, dpkg, gnome-shell, oneconf-service and py3compile.
All failed while running as daemons or cron jobs, and I became aware of
their failures only because of dialog boxes announcing them.
