Title:
  apt 1.9.6 regression

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  APT 1.9.6 introduced empty groups by making use of groups to
  deduplicate package names.

  This caused a problem in NewProvidesAllArch because automake was providing automake-1.16
  while having the source package automake-1.16. So we found the
  automake-1.16 group, iterated over its empty package list, trying
  to store the provides (which hence never happened).
