Bug#401980: apt segfaults if /var/cache/apt/*.bin are present



I am seeing this problem on my NSLU2. I have cron-apt configured to run daily, and everyday I wake up to the segfault email by the cron job :(.

removing /var/cache/apt/*.bin allows me to have one pleasant encounter with apt, not more. So, currently I added 'rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin' to my daily wakeup tasks (those include brushing my teeth), which has the effect of me staying late in bed.

I had debian installed on this NSLU2 for a while, so I haven't suffered the installer problem, but I wanted to make sure that this problems is not an installer-only problem, although I realize it may be more serious for the installer.
