on a friend's machine. The core is at: http://noisette.axialys.net/~huggie/apt-core (625k) The whole contents of /etc/apt are there too in the apt-conf.tar.gz Now for the really strange thing: In his /etc/apt/sources.list he has: deb http://debian.axialys.net/debian/non-US sid/non-US main contrib non-free And when I commented out this line I found I could run apt-get update with no problems. So naturally I took out the # and reran it expecting it to dump core again but it didn't. So I now have a totally working apt-get and I'm filing this bug just in case you can see (from the core) the bug that caused the original segfault. (debian.axialys.net is a local mirror of ftp.uk.debian.org (when it works) but it should be accessible).
