I am using Ubuntu 11.10. After upgrading, neither software-center nor update-manager would run. I get a segmentation fault when launched from the console.
I can do sudo apt-get update
without problem, but the upgrade does not work neither does the installation of any package i.e.,sudo apt-get upgrade
or sudo apt-get install emacs
simply returns the prompt back and nothing happens.
More exactly : software-center
gives this :
2012-01-30 16:07:17,144 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.em - INFO - EM's: 17 15 21 Segmentation fault
Nothing else happens then. With update-manager: Segmentation fault
A window flashes and immediately goes away. With sudo apt-get install emacs
and sudo apt-get upgrade
nothing happens with either of these two commands. sudo apt-get upgrade
works well though
$ software-center
gives this :2012-01-30 16:07:17,144 - softwarecenter.ui.gtk3.em - INFO - EM's: 17 15 21 Segmentation fault
Nothing else happen then. With$ update-manager Segmentation fault
A window flashes and immediately goes away. With$ sudo apt-get install emacs
and$ sudo apt-get upgrade
nothing happen with neither of this two last commands. (the$sudo apt-get upgrade
works well) François
