Title:
apt-get install segfault
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Package: apt
Version: apt-0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.22
root@0fb5fe4c0c0f:/build/apt-0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.22# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Release: 12.04
Expected to happen: running "apt-get install [ package ]" installs the
package
What happened: running "apt-get install [ package ]" encounters a
segfault
Debug notes:
This occurred while installing a package that depends on many other
packages. The package I was installing had "Section" defined, while
the offending dependent package did not have "Section" defined.
I built apt from source with debug symbols and located found the issue
occurs because a NULL value is being passed to strcmp (frame 1). This
happens because a prior function (frame 2) assumes that if the parent
package has "Section" defined, then the defendant package will also
have "Section" defined as well.
Adding the "Section" field to the offending package works around the
segfault issue.
Given that the policy manual (https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy
/ch-controlfields.html) states that section is recommended it's
technically correct to have a packge omit the Section field, and as
such, apt should tolerate this situation.
