Funny, I've just got both

    *** Error in `/bin/sh': free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000aaaac17d4988 ***

and

    mountall.sh[2172]: unhandled level 0 translation fault (11) at
0x0000004d, esr 0x92000004, in dash[aaaace7e5000+1a000]

during boot up, but I can't get update-ca-certificates to fail...

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
