Package: apt Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Severity: normal
I am currently getting the following. My guess is a malformed pdiff file. A couple of other people of #debian (oftc) have been seeing similar errors. Possibly related to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545694 but this is supposedly fixed on 0.7.24 and one of my co-bug-reporters can reproduce this on sid. Note the same pdiff, 2009-11-04-0016.39.pdiff, occurs before each error. This is the first joint bug report I've filed, and I've been using Debian and filing bug reports since 2001. :-) Regards, Faheem.
