[Bug 1012100] Re: programs using libapt-pkg segfault at multiple locations within libapt-pkg

[Austin S. Hemmelgarn]

Manually examining the backtrace with gdb seems to indicate a problem with reading local package database, so I tried purging all of the local database, and then running 'apt-get update', this did not fix it.
After that I tried manually fetching and replacing all of the packages which use libapt-pkg and libapt-pkg itself, this also did not fix the problem.

Title:
  programs using libapt-pkg segfault at multiple locations within
  libapt-pkg

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using Xubuntu 12.04 on amd64.

  Would have filed this as seperate reports for each place that the programs crashed, but as it causes apport to crash as well, I can't easily do that, so I will attach each of the generated crash files instead.
  I only have this problem on amd64, not i386 and only in the past 48 hours.
