Package: apt
Version: 1.0.9.7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

when i use `apt search PACKAGE` apt segfaults. While `aptitude search
PACKAGE`prints the helpful message

E: The value 'jessie' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is
not available in the sources

I know how to fix the error message, so that is not the problem. But i think
apt shouldn't crash but instead help the user by displaying the message like
aptitude or apt-cache do.

apt Version is 1.0.9.7

Version: 1.2.8
thanks

Closing based on information from previous message. I'm selecting "1.2.8"
as fix version because that was the next release after a commit (f40fdaa4)
that solved the problem.
