Bug#441980: /usr/bin/apt-get: apt-get update segfaults at pkgCacheGenerator::NewFileDesc
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.6
Severity: grave
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
Justification: renders package unusable
If I run apt-get update with the attached sources.list, it segfaults. It's
backtrace is:
(gdb) bt

#10 0x0804ce61 in ?? ()
I tried supressing many of the repositories and it worked. It's probably
triggered by misparsing some erroneous data on one of them, but anyway, it's
a bug demanding corretion.
