... except trying to install anything yields a million dependency problems and
then segfaults. So something else needs be fixed up as well.

Repeated the above. Seems to work now.

apt-get "Segmentation faultsts ... x%" not solved
Hello,
I keep having problems with apt-get which throws a "segmentation faultsts" at me regardless of my attempts to remove the /var/cache/apt/*.bin files.
I am running the stable version 0.5.28.6 on a kurobox (PowerPC).
The segmentation fault appears at random points anywhere from 0% to as high as 60%...
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Have you already tested the memory of your machine with memtest?

JHair,
when I look at /proc/meminfo (don't have memtest) I get:

Memory seems was not an issue until I had this problem appear. I've been running apt-get updates before successfully despite the small memory footprint.
I guess I could dump all the lists in /var/lib/apt/lists...

apt-get "Segmentation faultsts ... x%" SOLVED
Hello again,
I just dropped the /var/lib/apt/lists and re-created both lists and the partial subdirectory.
Re-issued apt-get update and this time the "Reading Package Lists..." went through.
Cool.

Try moving the two .bin files from /var/cache/apt. The corruption of one of
these makes the segfaultsts. You might have to repeat this but in the end,
these files are rebuilt successfully and all is well.

Hi,
Thanks for all the information. None of the tips helped me, though. What did the trick was to increase the cache limit: http://blog.springenwerk.com/2008/05/speicherzugriffsfehleresen-97.html
