apt-get update seg fault

[Matt Porter <mmporter@home.com>]

I'm using the base2_2.tgz base system configured from scratch on my
Motorola PReP box.  I decided to use dselect/apt to add some packages onto
the base system and here is what I got when apt went to update the package
lists:
-------

Then I tried the following after exiting dselect:

Tried apt-get update again and it worked.  Any ideas about the initial
segfault?  Maybe I have/had something misconfigured?  It seems to work
now.
