[Bug 878689] [NEW] Acquire isn't thread safe

[Sebastian Heinlein]

Public bug reported:

We would like to move downloading in aptdaemon to a separate thread but
it seems that apt isn't very thread safe. Also main thread doesn't do
any changes we see a lot of string operation crashes in
pkgAcqArchive::Done(std::string, unsigned long long, std::string,
pkgAcquire::MethodConfig*) ()

** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
