Bug#758397: libapt-pkg4.12: no initializer for pkgDepCache::iPolicyBrokenCount

[microrffr@gmail.com]

Package: libapt-pkg4.12
Version: 1.0.6
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

At the beginning of pkgDepCache::Update(OpProgress *), there are several lines
that clear most of the counters. There isn't one for iPolicyBrokenCount. I
think it's starting from some garbage value.

I'm trying to write a tool that uses libapt-pkg.
I tried printing out Cache->PolicyBrokenCount() immediately after where I call
Cache.BuildDepCache(&Prog), and it was a huge number, like 21309720.

I don't know what impact this has on apt itself. Probably not much. It never
gets displayed, and I only see it used in a few places to determine whether or
not to loop through the packages and check them one by one.
