Bug#445269: apt: crash on every operation

[Gerrit Addiks <gu4rdi4n@gmx.net>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4-0.1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


hi,
after i removed konqueror with "apt-get remove konqueror" it runned well, 
but when i then tried to use apt-get, it crashed everytime i 
tried an operation.

I have tried to delete Cache and reinstall apt and upgrade libc6, 
but it changed nothing.



GDB:
(gdb) run install -f
Starting program: /usr/bin/apt-get install -f
