[TF2] vpk_linux32 segfaulting while extracting files on Ubuntu 12.04 Server

[powerlord]

So, I just tried to extract scripts/talker/demoman.txt from tf2_misc_dir.vpk only to get a segmentation fault:

tf2@powerlord:~/tf2/tf$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/tf2/tf2/bin /home/tf2/tf2/bin/vpk_linux32 x tf2_misc_dir.vpk scripts/talker/demoman.txt
extracting scripts/talker/demoman.txt
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The last time I tried using it was in December and it was working properly then.

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH is necessary because if you don't, you get this instead

tf2@powerlord:~/tf2/tf$ /home/tf2/tf2/bin/vpk_linux32 x tf2_misc_dir.vpk scripts/talker/demoman.txt
/home/tf2/tf2/bin/vpk_linux32: error while loading shared libraries: libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I've already done a steamcmd validation on my server's TF2 install and it is otherwise working correctly.

Edit: This is on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit, and as previously mentioned, this worked fine a few months earlier.

This appears to be have fixed in the last update.

Well it's currently happening to me on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04... Don't know what to do...

In this thread someone says it will segfault if I don't have the right system... But I believe Ubuntu trusty falls under the "right system" case

After testing: not all files fail. I have the segfault with ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/tf2_misc_000.vpk

# copy ~/.steam/steam/SteamApps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/tf2_misc_000.vpk to a working directory then try to unpack
./vpk.sh tf2_misc_000.vpk
# Fails with segfault (System with French locale)
# ./vpk.sh : ligne 5 :  9294 Erreur de segmentation  (core dumped) LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${VALVE_LIB_DIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" "${VPK_LINUX}" "${*}"

vpk.sh content:

#!/bin/bash
# https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VPK#Linux_users
VPK_LINUX="$(find "${HOME}/.local/share/Steam" -type f -iname "vpk_linux32" -print | head -n 1)"
VALVE_LIB_DIR="$(dirname  "${VPK_LINUX}")"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${VALVE_LIB_DIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" "${VPK_LINUX}" "${*}"

This is not a big problem, I'm just tinkering with the game files. Still strange it does not work as expected.

Error still occurs with Fedora 25

Segfaulting on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS when trying to extract This Synergy Addon with the HL2 vpk_linux32 exec. Could I be missing dependencies by any chance?

Still happens in Fedora. I used the SDK 2013 one and that created folders with nothing, so I tried the hl2 one and it Segfaulted
