Package: apt
Version: 2.3.13
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Today I ran "apt install sphinx/sid" and it segfaulted. Probably caused by
the fact that sphinx is a virtual package.

Stacktrace is attached.

It is always a bit hard to proof that a segfault with the data
from 5 years ago is fixed given that the data changed in the meantime
and these sort of things are highly sensitive to the data. Still,
good to know that with a (at least) slightly different setup a problem
with the same symptoms could be reproduced and proven to fixed,
thanks Kamil – also for digging in our massive heap of open reports!


Anyway, without looking too deeply the fixed segfault happens if Suite
or Codename are not available for a repository, which is not the case
for Debian repositories, but could be for 3rd parties OR the more likely
cause if you have the package (providing the request) already installed
as the dpkg/status file is in apt-speak also a repositories (with
Archive name 'now', but no Codename).

I think it is reasonable to assume those were the same problem and
I am therefore closing the report as fixed, but if that is wrong
and this problem can still be reproduced in some way feel free to
reopen of course!


Thanks & Best regards

David Kalnischkies
