The errors Can not write log (Is /dev/pts mounted?) - posix_openpt (2: No such file or directory are normal and don't seem to be relevant. The error which caused the failure seems to be Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault. Other builds have completed without issue since this error occurred.
