Bug#198978: apt-utils: should depend on newer apt?

[Justin A <justin@bouncybouncy.net>]

Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: important
Tags: sid

I was seeing the:
E: Unparsible control file
with apt-ftparchive

I had upgraded apt-utils a while ago, but left apt alone...
upgrading apt to apt_0.5.5.1 made the problem go away

apt-utils needs to depend on the newer apt?
