Hi!
The following code leads to the mentioned SystemError:
/==========
In [1]: import apt_pkg
In [2]: import apt
In [3]: progress = apt.progress.base.OpProgress()
In [4]: apt_pkg.Cache(progress)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SystemError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-75f3bd887983> in <module>()
----> 1 apt_pkg.Cache(progress)
SystemError: E:The value 'stretch' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
\==========
This should be #676468 in apt-xapian-index.

Christoph

Well, it seems the sources were not updated correctly, or there is
no source with stretch as its codename. We need to error out as
silently ignoring such a failure will cause really bad issues (and
this is the only pinning stuff we can actually check).
That's not a bug, but the expected behaviour.
