Title:
  dpkg-preconfigure crashed with SIGSEGV in abort()

Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debconf

  Running the adept updater via the system tray icon and updating to the
  latest releases for 7.10 beta, I noticed that when I had it showing me
  details, I was seeing "stack smashing detected" warnings and then perl
  was being aborted which corresponds to the packages that failed and
  caused the errors to be generated.  This ultimately caused Adept to
  error out with the following error "There was an error commiting
  changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the
  commit would break packages.".  I have not yet tried to manually
  upgrade via apt-get dist-upgrade to see if that fixes anything, though
  I don't think it will.  I'll probably try a reboot and see if any of
  the packages that had been upgraded just needed to be in a clean state
  or something.

  This was on a fresh install of 7.10 beta2 that I've updated every
  couple of days as I've had time to play with things.
