>Number: 799 >Category: misc >Synopsis: sysinstall segfaults if part of distribution missing >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sun Oct 29 18:40:01 PST 1995 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Paul Traina >Organization: Shockwave Engineering >Release: FreeBSD 2.1-0-951026-SNAP >Environment: System is an i386/33 with an ESDI drive on wd0. Boostrap floppy from the 951026 snapshot. Installing "Kern-Developer" distribution via FTP from user-specified URL. The URL pointed to what was *supposed* to be a mirror of ftp.cdrom.com, but wasn't because I forgot to copy down the proflibs directiory contents but just had an empty proflibs/ subdirectory. >Description: Install is going just fine, the manual pages extract and I get: "Fatal signal 11 caught! I'm dead." on VTY2, the last messages were: DEBUG: Parsing attributes file for distribution proflibs DEBUG: Aborting FTP connection DEBUG: FTP shutdown called. FTP = 197880 >How-To-Repeat: Try to install 951026 on an empty machine via ftp from a user-specified URL with proflibs empty. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
