Package: apt Version: 0.9.7.8 Severity: minor Issue also reproduced with the package in experimental: 0.9.7.9~exp2
I accidentally wrote a sources.list line that contained a ']' character. I expect 'apt-get update' to fail to resolve the host name and fail in one way or another. Instead, apt-get just segfailts. An example sources.list file: deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid main deb http://hostname[ whatever # apt-get update Segmentation fault # aptitude update Segmentation fault # apt-cache search apt Segmentation fault -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=he_IL.utf8, LC_CTYPE=he_IL.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2012.4 ii gnupg 1.4.12-7 ii libapt-pkg4.12 0.9.7.8 ii libc6 2.13-38 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 apt recommends no packages.
