Oh this got lost, the answer to your problem before is that *somehow* you
had some file corruption of /var/cache/apt/* which can segfault APT. It is
not supposed to be possible to get that, so I'm not sure how you got so
lucky...
Changing the sources.list forced it to rebuild all the files and wipe out
the corruption, 'rm' does the same.
