Trying to install some packages causes 3977 Bus error (core dumped) ldconfig

**AbuDhabi** · 03-20-2012, 11:44 PM

I'm attempting to install some packages from the repository, which fails badly. Here is what happens:

Code:

I have tried to find a solution to this problem on the Internet, but have failed. This is reproducible for me, if I restart and try again. How do I fix this?

I'm using Backtrack 5, running from USB, the 32bit GNOME version. I have forgotten which exact version I have, but judging by the fact that the b43 driver is used, it's probably 5r1.
