This includes all tools that are build on top of libapt. It turns out the bug can be fixed by checking for a NULL value in the filename string. The attached (one-liner) patch adresses the issue. Please accept this as a StableReleaseUpdate. + + TEST CASE: + I have not found a way to reliable trigger the bug, so I would suggest we test it indirectly + 1. install the apt from -proposed + 2. run apt-get update + 3. run apt-get dist-upgrade + 4. run apt-cache search apt + 5. run apt-get install --reinstall synaptic + + verify that all of the above commands work as expected and do not + segfault or misbehave.
