Bug#381520: python-apt: Simple rebuild of package fixes segfault
Package: python-apt
Followup-For: Bug #381520
Just stumbled across this bug while configuring my new AMD64 machine.
Using several of the 'wajig' commands will trigger the segfault in
TAgFileFree() as Devin reported. (wajig is another debian package
that written in python that integrates many of the apt-foo functions.)
For example, these will both trigger the segfault in the python-apt
module currently on the mirrors:
wajig show python
wajig changelog python
Simply rebuilding the module with a current debian/etch environment
appears to have fixed the problem. The version of gcc used in my
rebuild was '4:4.1.1-5'
