Package: apt Version: 0.6.46.4 Severity: serious Justification: breaks unrelated software
I just did a fresh install from the stable netinst iso and then dist-upgraded to unstable. Now when I try to aptitude update or apt-get update, I get a crash: # apt-get update Get: 1 http://cudlug.cudenver.edu unstable Release.gpg [378B] Get: 2 http://security.debian.org testing/updates Release.gpg [189B] Hit http://cudlug.cudenver.edu unstable Release Hit http://security.debian.org testing/updates Release Get: 3 http://www.debian-multimedia.org unstable Release.gpg [189B] Ign http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main Packages/DiffIndex 99% [Waiting for headers] [Waiting for headers]Segmentation fault Here's the stack trace: #0 0xb7a41818 in ??
