Hi,

Some part of the upgrade process failed.

I would restart the computer and try again. This should clear any locked files.

If it still fails. then you may need to clear some of the file directories used by apt-get.

Code: Select all

sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/apt-listchanges/*.*

And try again.

Problem is still present

[VascoFerraz]

I think the problem is in the apt-listchanges

But if I download it and install it with dpkg I get:

Code: Select all

I downloaded some packages from the repository and I was able to install successfully using dpkg.
Except for: apt-listchanges_3.14_all.deb

Why are you trying to install an X86_64 package on an ARM based processor. If you want that function you will need to build it from source code.

[rpdom]

I see no X86_64 package.

As far as I know I am on the RPI repository.

Where did you see in my posts that I am installing a X86_64 package?

[DougieLawson]

apt-listchanges_3.14_all.deb appears to be an Ubuntu X86_64 package. No armhf version available, as far as I can see.

Is it normal to have a X86_64 package in the Raspbian repository?

[DougieLawson]

It's just that a segfault is normally (as in 99.9999% of the time) due to trying to run X86/X86_64 code on a Raspberry.

[gkaiseril]

I had no problem installing it in stretch on a 32 GB card on a Pi 3.

The "_all" in the name is an indication that it is for ALL architectures. There should be no arch specific code in it.

I had no problem installing it in stretch on a 32 GB card on a Pi 3.

I have no idea what is going on. I think I have to reflash the Pi.

I never did a rpi-update, just apt-get update, upgrade and dist-upgrade

That's strange because my Pi1 never had this kind of issues.

Pi3 suddenly breaks regularly out of nothing (this is not the first time).

After messing around with some packages I found that python3.5 also had problems.
I manually installed all python3.5 dependencies.
Then, I manually installed python3.5 and finally apt-listchanges.
Problem solved.

This makes sense. If there is a segmentation fault running `python3`, then the same would happen for running `apt-listchanges` since it is just a Python 3 script.

I'm using packages from debian testing, and encountered an issue very similar to this with Python 3.6.5-rc1, where even trying to reinstall/upgrade apt-listchanges didn't seem possible due to errors running apt-listchanges. Manually upgrading everything currently installed from the python36 and python3-stdlib-extensions source packages to 3.6.6 seemed to solve the problem for me.

I have the exact same error message and file in question as well. Like the OP, this isn't the first time this error popped up. It happened a few months ago, but the segmentation fault was for a different package. I couldn't figure it out so I just reinstall from fresh.

This time around, I've tried to manually reinstalling all the python pkg like the OP, but the issue was still there. I found another post suggesting to rename 20listchanges file located in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d. It fixed it. I don't understand why, but it works.
