Bug#830267: dpkg: Segmentation fault when purging package in APT test case

Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.9 Severity: serious dpkg fails to purge a package in our test suite, crashing with a segmentation fault. You can reproduce it by building apt and running test/integration/test-bug-712116-dpkg-pre-install-pkgs-hook-multiarch - I have also included the backtrace here.
