Bug#64394: apt crashes on alpha
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Apt crashes with a floating point exception on alpha. I was trying to build
images using the debian-cd scripts...

warning: Hit beginning of text section without finding
warning: enclosing function for address 0x11ffff5e0
This warning occurs if you are debugging a function without any symbols
(for example, in a stripped executable). In that case, you may wish to
increase the size of the search with the set heuristic-fence-post' command.
Otherwise, you told GDB there was a function where there isn't one, or
(more likely) you have encountered a bug in GDB.
