Segmentation Fault in setup After Upgrading from Core 189 to Core 198

[mogholami (m gholami)]

Hi everyone,

After upgrading my IPFire system from Core Update 189 to Core Update 198, I encountered a major issue.

When I run the setup command, it immediately crashes with a segmentation fault. This did not happen before the upgrade.

So far, I have noticed:

• The upgrade completed but something seems broken afterwards.

• Running setup always results in a segfault.

• Other parts of the system may also be unstable.

Has anyone else experienced this issue when upgrading from 189 → 198?
What is the recommended way to fix or repair setup in this situation?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

That is a big upgrade jump.

re-installation with recent backup would be better choice.

I always upgrade to the next available version. I have done some upgrades over two versions in my development vm’s when I have gone from a stable install to an unstable install but that is the biggest jump I have done.

While doing an upgrade over 9 versions should work, all it needs is a slight hiccup in that series of upgrades to corrupt something and that looks like what has happened with your system.

If a binary program has become corrupted there is no way to repair it. Also if that became corrupted how certain can you be that everything else is unaffected.

The recommendation is to do a fresh install and restore from the backup you ran before doing the upgrade.

I recently did the same Upgrade from 189 to 198.

Setup works perfect.

I hope you have a valid bare metal Backup!
