Pardon? To what are you referring? I was directing you to this line:
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";};
which demonstrates how to ensure that your program won't cause apt to abort,
even if it exits with an error or doesn't exist. If you're not running
unstable or testing, you'll find this line in /etc/apt/apt.conf.

If you want people to look at it, you should probably post the URL again, as
most folks won't bother searching through the mail archives to find the message
where you gave it the first time.
