112763 - segmentation fault in install, modules available locally still downloaded

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112831

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Leston Buell]

When i try to install on Linux with a 2001-11-29 installer.tar.gz or sea.tar.gz.
The installation process stops just before installing the first module. The
windows disappear, and i get the following message in the console:

./mozilla-installer: line 55:  1272 Segmentation fault      (core dumped)
./mozilla-installer-bin --sync $@

Something else is weird. The sea.tar.gz build indicates that it will be
downloading modules over the Web ("Save modules after downloading?"). I normally
use the sea builds, and this is the first time i've ever seen this.

I've now tried installng the sea.tar.gz 2001-11-29-21 Linux trunk build on a
different machine. Although the modules actually start installing now, i get the
same segmentation fault after one or two of them install. 

Again, there is this other oddity that although all of the modules are already
available locally, the installer is really downloading them from the Web.
Changing the summary to reflect this.

do a custom install and deselect dom inspector. if that works then this bug is a
duplicate of bug 112831

Installation succeeded for me (the reporter) when the Inspector was deselected,
so this is indeed a dupe.

It's so easy to verify dups when the reporter agrees.  Verified a dup of bug 112831 - Linux: installer crashes if 
installing DOM Inspector after downloading.  Also changing component to Installer for future searches.
