Bug#544080: Version 0.7.23 makes aptitude and apt-get segfault
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.23
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
(sorry if it's an already known issue or if the severity is too high)
Hi!
Yesterday apt was updated from 0.7.22.2 to 0.7.23 and aptitude started to
segfault:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb7f9e2fb in pkgAcqIndex::Failed(std::string, pkgAcquire::MethodConfig*) ()
from /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6.so.4.8
Then tried apt-get and it failed like aptitude:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xb7f9e2fb in pkgAcqIndex::Failed(std::string, pkgAcquire::MethodConfig*) ()
from /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6.so.4.8

Maybe aptitude needs a binNMU for the updated apt, but at least apt-get should
works, right?
Downgrading back to 0.7.22.2 things get back to normal.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
