Thanks (also to Francesco who uploaded the files privately).

Unfortunately I can't reproduce it with either at the moment, which is
a bit strange at the very least in Francesco's case as his output
suggests a segfault at 65% done, which should be still inside the lists/
files and not in the dpkg/status file as the later is very small
compared to (multiple) Packages+Translation files. Mhhhhh.

I drop my binary caches just to be sure
# rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
and then I am trying as user with
$ apt-cache policy -o dir::etc=/tmp/poli/etc -o dir::state::lists=/tmp/poli/lists -o apt::architecture=i386
and
$ apt-cache policy -o dir::etc=/tmp/haber/etc/apt -o dir::state::lists=/tmp/haber/var/lib/apt/lists
respectively.

That should be segfaulting as any apt command is building a binary cache
(if need be in memory only), but it doesn't for me. I presume it does
for you guys…


(Not a hell of a lot of time at the moment, so if someone else feels
like working on it I wouldn't complain)
