No, this is a bug in apt-show-versions triggered by a move to 64 bit
integers on all platforms which was introduced in the perl 5.12
packages. The best fix is likely to be one which invalidates the cache
if this situation is encountered; I would also recommend switching
to nstore which will prevent this happening again.
