and the uploaded file "core" is the core dump file

This bug affects all cpack generators.

Problem is this line:
set(CPACK_CMAKE_GENERATOR Unix Makefiles)

Quotes are missing: "Unix Makefiles"
Because of that variable becomes a list with two elements (Unix, Makefiles) and since this is an invalid generator it doesn't get initialized and the code that checks that is missing.

I have already written a fix that detects an invalid generator name and logs it as error instead of producing a core dump. I'll upload it in the afternoon.

Was the generator that you used to generate CPackConfig.cmake file a part of CMake/CPack or some external tool?

Since this fixes a crash, I backported it for inclusion in 3.1.1:

 CPack: Avoid crash on invalid CMake generator name
