Apt/aptitude is segfaulting. Time to wait.

Thanks David. Seems this only affects aptitude and not apt-get; at least apt-* doesn't do anything bad here.

Seems so but better save than sorry and for our aptitude users (really, who uses this shit?). :D

As Bacon says, if you are an apt-getter, no worries.

I updated today and had no problems so far. I don't use aptitude though.

Code: Select all

apt-cache depends apt
apt
  Depends: libapt-pkg4.12

Looks as if they are beating the wrong guy, it's obviously aptitude that makes troubles.
If aptitude wasn't upgraded recently, then I suspect libxapian22 and not libapt-pkg4.12 to be the problem.
