Bug#701069: apt: Segfault in pkgDepCache::IsModeChangeOk (libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0)
Package: apt
Version: 0.9.7.7
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
running "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" today, I got
- CUT -
The following packages have been kept back:
dconf-gsettings-backend ia32-libs-gtk ipxe libenchant1c2a libfreeimage3 libgnome-keyring0 liblapack3gf liblockfile1 linux-headers-2.6-amd64
python-dbus python-pyopencl
The following packages will be upgraded:

Since I didn't want to go through the trouble of an nvidia driver update just
now, I decided to hand-pick some packages to upgrade:
root@torus:~# apt-get install vim libc6 host
Which would have lead to the removal of a large number of i386 packages (including wine and acroread). I thus said
root@torus:~# apt-get install vim libc6 host acroread
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
acroread is already the newest version.
Segmentation fault
Checking in more detail with gdb shows:
- CUT -
root@torus:~# gdb /usr/bin/apt-get
GNU gdb (GDB) 7.4.1-debian
[...]
(gdb) r install vim libc6 host acroread

The backtrace gives:

If you need additional info, like package selections ore coredumps, I can
gladly provide them.
