Package: apt
Version: 0.9.4
Severity: important

Hi,

Lates nagios-plugins ships a breaks/predepends setup that make apt
segfault on upgrade:

After this operation, 346 kB of additional disk space
will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

apt-get download, force removing old package and installation with
dpkg works. Afterwards apt start to work again. I have seen this on my
box and also on others. Even if the relationships of nagios-plugins
are fishy apt shouldn't segfault :).

Alex
