Package: apt
Version: 0.7.14
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/apt-cache
Hi!
I notice a strange segfault in apt-cache show. When handing it a source
package name that isn't available as binary package, and when
APT::Cache::AllVersions is set to false, apt-cache show will segfault:
#v+
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show vimoutliner
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo 'APT::Cache::AllVersions "false";' | sudo tee -a
/etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Cache::AllVersions "false";
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show vimoutliner
Segmentation fault
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show -a vimoutliner
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
#v-
I'm not too sure what exactly is going on here, but I think this should
be enough informations to be able to reproduce it relyable.
Thanks,
Rhonda
