Missing the package "gdal-bin" results in Segmentation fault.

OS: Linux (ubuntu 22.04)

If you have "django.contrib.gis" enabled, but a required package, e.g., gdal-bin is not installed, every command will be terminated with a segmentation fault.

I feel like this should rather emit an error message informing about the lack of said library, shouldn't it?

Example output:

./manage.py check
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hi, I don't think you've explained the issue in enough detail to confirm a bug in Django. Please reopen the ticket if you can debug your issue and provide details about why and where Django is at fault.

You can try to run check with faulthandler

python -X faulthandler manage.py check

So I just deleted all libs that com along with the gdal-bin package and ran python -X faulthandler manage.py check. The result is the same. As soon as I install libgdal again, the issue is gone.

python -X faulthandler manage.py check
System check identified no issues (0 silenced).
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
