Segmentation fault <BR>
<BR>
Could the problem be with these 6 packages rather than within smart? Each of the above packages individually produces the Segmentation Fault. However, many packages do not produce faults - for example, I can successfully cherrypick : smart upgrade x11* xorg* sax2*<BR>
<BR>
I will send through the other outputs you suggest. Many thanks for your help. <BR>
