Bug#198430: Apt segfault after reading package list

[Jorge Bernal Koke <koke@sindominio.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: grave
Tags: sid


When I try to do apt-get install something or apt-cache policy something
(I haven't tried any more options) it crashes with a segfault.

Here is the gdb output

Starting program: /usr/bin/apt-cache policy
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no
debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging
symbols found)...
(no debugging symbols found)...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4007d62e in pkgVersionMatch::FileMatch(pkgCache::PkgFileIterator) ()
from /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5.so.3.3


This occurs after I installed stormpkg in sid.
