Sometimes when i'm in console and i do " apt-cache search 'filename' " afterwards i get a message for segmentation fault tree .......50% . I know that i fix it by removing the .bin files in /var/cache/apt dir but my question is : Why does it happen whenever it wants? by using the same program e.g. k3b the first time appears the broblem but the second it doesn;t..... Anybody?

First check your memory with memtest86. You are wasting your time chasing software problems if your hardware is faulty. The bios memory test misses burst errors.
