** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: apt
  
- What should happen: Apt doesn't sigsev... apt-cache should search,
- display package info, etc. apt-get should download and install packages,
- upgrade the system, etc.
+ Under certain circumstance apt segfaults on every operation until the
+ cache is rebuild or deleted. This includes all tools that are build on
+ top of libapt.
  
- What is happening: apt* (including adept, aptitude, synaptic, etc)
- sigsev. 'apt-get source hello', 'apt-get update', 'apt-cache search
- foobar', 'apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop', etc all cause a sigsev.
- Please view the strace and gdb backtraces.
+ It turns out the bug can be fixed by checking for a NULL value in the
+ filename string. The attached (one-liner) patch adresses the issue.
  
- What I have tried: reinstall apt, reinstall libc6, reboot, remove
- /var/lib/apt/lists/*, reset sources.list to default, sudo dpkg-
- reconfigure -a .
- 
- Please see the attached files for backtraces and straces.
+ Please accept this as a StableReleaseUpdate.
