Please run it like this:
# gdb apt-get
(gdb) run install xpaint

..and if/when it dies with the segmentation fault give 'bt' command to
gdb and send the output here or to me directly, that'll give a better
idea where it crashes and why.

Possibly it's a corrupted rpmdb or apt cache but in any case it
shouldn't segfault...
