package man-db 2.5.7-2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault)

Thanks for your report.

Is anyone experiencing this failure able to reproduce with one of the following command:
$ sudo /usr/bin/mandb -p /var/cache/man
or
$ perl -e '@pwd = getpwnam("man"); $( = $) = $pwd[3]; $< = $> = $pwd[2]; exec "/usr/bin/mandb", @ARGV' -- "-p"

Thanks in advance.

PS: you have to use sudo for the second command too.

Since upgrade, multiple hangs at random times, have to full power off to return machine to service.

@wsouthwell: this is not a problem with man-db but rather an issue with your hardware, X or the kernel. You should check the log file /var/log/messages for any error message and report a bug against linux (use the command "ubuntu-bug linux" or the component triggering the error) Thanks.

i call bullshit because i have the same problem

I (wife of this launchpad account holder) got this problem, but I've been having lots of problems for a couple of weeks, with all applications crashing regularly. Anyway, in case it helps, this is the log file:

Processing triggers for man-db ...
dpkg: error processing man-db (--unpack):
 subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault)
Processing triggers for python-gmenu ...
Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/desktop.en_NZ.utf8.cache...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme ...
Processing triggers for python-support ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 man-db
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I think you should try reinstalling the man-db package. sounds like its been
the cause of the failed instqlll in your case.

@Grant (or Grant's wife) are you able to reproduce the crash with any of the command in comment #2 ?

Re-installed package without any problem. So no reproduction of crash

I got the issue after I tried to install Emerald.....

perl and all the dpkg-* apps are now throwing "Segmentation fault" when I try to execute them . Before that I had
"Permission denied" it didn't matter if I was root or not. Then I changed the rights and owner manually......
