crash in Help: E: dpkg was interrupted,...
Last modified: 2007-08-08 20:18:26 UTC
Version: 2.16.1 What were you doing when the application crashed? E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance! In particular, a stacktrace with yelp debug symbols installed would be great. Thanks.

Thanks to the comments in bug #370596, I can now reproduce this problem. The interesting part of the stacktrace is:

Thread 1 (Thread -1226840400 (LWP 26743))
(Search for List::Util with beagle not running). I'll look into this crash soon. In the meantime, reopening and confirming as I can reproduce and there is a good stacktrace.
Found the problem. Yelp uses ':' internally to delimit some strings. Having them in the search string causes all sorts of problems. I've committed a fix. In addition, it appears that yelp can chew through memory when 2 consecutive spaces are present. Brilliantly, the same fix also solves this problem :) Closing. 2006-11-05 Don Scorgie <dscorgie@cvs.gnome.org> * src/yelp-search-pager.c: Replace ':' chars in search strings with ' ' Stops from crashing (bug #364768) Don't chew memory when search string contains 2 consecutive spaces

That's still happening using 2.19.1, reopening
Ubuntu bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/yelp/+bug/128130
Fixed again. 2007-08-07 Don Scorgie <dscorgie@svn.gnome.org> * src/yelp-search-parser.c: When slow searching for ':', don't crash (Bug #364768 again) http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/yelp/trunk/src/yelp-search-parser.c?r1=2876&r2=2877 (basically by explicitly not searching for ':', which isn't a huge loss, surely.)
