Today, running: # aptitude update Get: 1 http://security.debian.org testing/updates InRelease [62.8 kB] [...] Get: 21 http://debian.ethz.ch/debian unstable/main Translation-en 2016-02-21-0858.48.pdiff [97 B] Fetched 868 kB in 1min 19s (11.0 kB/s) [100%] Reading package listsSegmentation fault led to a segfault.

After that, everything worked fine: # aptitude --purge-unused safe-upgrade The following packages will be upgraded: [...] Current status: 0 (-3) upgradable. Please note that I had libapt-pkg5.0/1.2.3 installed on this box, both before and after today's upgrade. I am reopening the bug report, since the bug does not seem to be (completely) fixed. Please fix this issue. Thanks for your time! Bye. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
