Apt-get segmentation fault

Hello!

I'm trying to use apt-get to get the packages gcc-avr, avr-libc, and gdb-avr on Debian Etch. However, I get a segmentation fault:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
binutils-avr
Suggested packages:
task-c-devel gcc-doc
Segmentation fault

What causes this, and how should I go about solving the problem?

what does running

apt-get -f install

result in?

I had a similar problem and this command (from terminal) as root fixed it:

rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin

Hope that helps
