Package: apt

apt-get update (and other operations) segfaulted here:

on a friend's machine.
The core is at:
http://noisette.axialys.net/~huggie/apt-core (625k)
The whole contents of /etc/apt are there too in the apt-conf.tar.gz
Now for the really strange thing:
In his /etc/apt/sources.list he has:
deb http://debian.axialys.net/debian/non-US sid/non-US main contrib
non-free
And when I commented out this line I found I could run apt-get update
with no problems.
So naturally I took out the # and reran it expecting it to dump core
again but it didn't.
So I now have a totally working apt-get and I'm filing this bug just in
case you can see (from the core) the bug that caused the original
segfault.
(debian.axialys.net is a local mirror of ftp.uk.debian.org (when it
works) but it should be accessible).
Simon.
