Tested the proposed version 1.0.1ubuntu2.12 in Mint 17.3 (which is based on Trusty and uses apt package as is, from Trusty repos). All works fine and no workaround with APT::Cache-start required anymore.
Just in case, I'll wait for Trusty users to report as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1445436 Title: Segmentation faults in libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0 Status in Linux Mint: Confirmed Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apt source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in apt package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: For no obvious reason whatsoever it is now completely impossible for me to use APT.
