Today i got a segfault from aptitude on Ubuntu 8.10. This is caused by corrupted files in /var/cache/apt/ and is usually caused by bad hardware like harddrives and such, I discovered a bad memory module when I ran memtest. The corrupted file in /var/cache/apt stops you from updating and installing packages, which isn’t very nice now [ READ MORE ]
