Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.2
Severity: normal


First, apt-get dist-upgrade started failing due to unwriteable /usr, and
I killed it with CTRL+C

Then I remounted /usr, but now apt-get never get further than
"Reading package lists..." and then it segfaults.
Some actions also manages to print "0%" before segfaulting.
The segfault message comes on top of "Reading package lists..."
making it hard to read.

I installed the newest apt using "dpkg", this did not help.
dselect failed too because it uses apt.

I guess the package database has become corrupted somehow,
it'd be helpful if apt at least would point out the
bad file before dying. :-( No more apt for me it seems.

This is bug is probably the same as other 'mmap corruption' errors, caused by mmap bug in
old kernel. I'm closing it for now.
