Bug#31883: Segmentation fault on incorrect URI in /etc/apt/sources.list

["Emanuele Pucciarelli" <emanuele@earthling.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.1.7

When I place an incorrect FTP locator in /etc/apt/sources.list, such as

deb ftp://palmaria.garda-access.com:/pub/linux/debian stable main contrib
non-free

(on a single line of course; note the colon after the hostname), the ftp
child process dumps core after reading /etc/services. I got this by simply
invoking

# apt-get upgrade

with this wrong configuration. Kernel Linux stavromueller.dyn.ml.org
