Thanks for your reply.

I've been using apt-listbugs with cupt on amd64 for a while, for what
it's worth.

apt-listbugs list <package> worked okay for me when I tried it in the
course of investigation.
The bad news: before receiving your reply, I uninstalled apt-listbugs,
ran "cupt dist-upgrade", and reinstalled apt-listbugs, and now the
problem doesn't happen anymore. I think it must have had something to
do with the particular wheezy -> experimental upgrade that was being
proposed[1].

I doubt it is architecture-specific, unless there is some assumption
of signed char somewhere or something like that. This is an
interpreted language and it wasn't a segfault. :) To reproduce the
slow way (I don't encourage this --- it's just for illustration):
1. unset MALLOC_PERTURB_, to avoid running afoul of Bug#626875.
2. Follow the instructions from that bug log to get a wheezy
image. Or just grab Aurélien's squeeze image from
http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ and upgrade it.
3. Install apt-listbugs and cupt.
4. Put sid and experimental in sources.list. Put
APT::Default-Release "experimental";
cupt::worker::defer-triggers "1";
in a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/.
5. Run "cupt update".
6. Run "cupt full-upgrade".

I don't mind; just thought the report might be useful to someone.
Sorry, I should have used btrfs and taken a snapshot before upgrading.
Next time.
http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/String.html tells me:

I wonder if apt-listbugs/logic.rb, line 770 should not be
pkgnames[index] = pkgnames[index].chomp
and similarly for "if line != nil" on line 1169? Though that wouldn't
affect this bug.
pkgnames gets populated by adding entries of the form
filename = line.split(" ")[4]
after apt-listbugs sees a blank line. If there are 4 or fewer fields
on such a line then filename will be nil. Perhaps cupt mentioned a
package it was going to remove or trigger in a nonstandard way.
Is the apt VERSION 2 hook interface documented anywhere? I tried
"man apt" and "man apt.conf" but no luck so far.
Thanks for your thoughtfulness,
Jonathan
