Bug#443564: Me too

[David Tulloh <david@tulloh.id.au>]

I just wanted to stick my hand up for a 'me too' on this bug.

The bug occurred when I upgraded apt and friends to testing (apt 
0.7.14+b1).  dpkg was an old testing version, I'm afraid I don't have 
the version number.  apt and all the other related packages were stable 
(apt 0.6.46.4-0.1)

I haven't tried to resolve/fix the bug yet and have no urgent need to 
get apt back up.  So I'm happy to provide any further information or tests.
