Bug#51104: New Apt Breaks Console-Apt
It turns out that running apt-get by itself shed some light on the
problem. There were some type of status files (sorry, I didn't get
their names) that could not be located. running ``apt-get update''
resolved the problem.
I guess the real bug in console-apt is that it did not pass along the
apt-get error messages, so that I knew how to resolve the problem.
The bug in the apt package is that, upon upgrading to 0.3.14, it needed
to have apt-get update run to rebuild these files, but the postinst
script did not do so.
