Bug#535218: #535218 apt-get / aptitude segfault when Cache-Limit is too small
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.21
Severity: normal
I'm suffering from the cache-limit error too after the upgrade to
ia32-apt-get v20 (which has set up a diversion for /usr/bin/apt-get).
I get,
$ sudo apt-get update

I have not set APT::Cache-Limit anywhere. It's not mentioned in any
of the files in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/.
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00ia32-libs-tools does not define
APT::Cache-Limit, it only has references to /usr/lib/ia32-libs-tools/mangle
