Bug#1092090: dpkg,apt: apt autopkgtests fail with newer dpkg

[Niels Thykier]

Package: dpkg,apt
Severity: serious

Hi,

There are a couple of failures in the apt's autopkgetests log with dpkg/1.22.13 (last success was probably dpkg/1.22.11, so it might be dpkg/1.22.12 triggering the problem for all I know). Hopefully I quoted there relevant parts.

I cannot say I know what is up and down in all this, so I will leave this to you to review and reassign to whomever needs to fix it.
