Bug#490297: /usr/bin/apt-ftparchive: apt-ftparchive: segmentation fault when using overrides

[Marcus Blumhagen <marcus.blumhagen@web.de>]

Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.7.14+b1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/apt-ftparchive


When running

  $ apt-ftparchive -c=/etc/apt/apt.conf packages binary overrides

in the top level directory of the repository apt-ftparchive segfaults
and coredumps. Ommitting an overrides file results in a successful
apt-ftparchive run.
