Bug#635681: apt: Segmentation fault on manual upgrade
Subject: apt: Segmentation fault on manual upgrade
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.4
Severity: normal
Apt segfaults if a required package (libtelepathy-farstream0 in my case)
is prevented from installing by policy. Stack looks corrupt in gdb. I
also added the last lines from ltrace -C -S -s256 -f.
