Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
The entire output is:
$ sudo network-admin
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This is on feisty, since at least the herd2 release. Currently version 2.17.5-0ubuntu1. The machine has 3 nics, an rtl 8139, a via rhine and an acx111 wireless, but there are no drivers loaded for the last two. /etc/network/
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
When starting under gdb, I get (amongst the many "no debugging symbols found"s):
...

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

If there is a dbg version of the package, I'll happily try it out
Thank you for your bug. The packages have a -dbgysm variant containing the debug symbols you can install, that's described on https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr ogramCrash. A crash to alloc looks like a memory corruption. Could you try to get a valgrind log (https:/ /wiki.ubuntu. com/Valgrind) for the problem?
