Comment 6 for bug 253255

I was able to reproduce the segfault with a non-updated gutsy install containing python-apt 0.7.3.1ubuntu4. I then installed python-apt 0.7.3.1ubuntu4.2 from gutsy-proposed which addressed the segfault issue. Light testing of adding and removing other repositories and performing some updates showed no obvious regressions.

@mvo: Would a completely unpatched 8.04 installation work as a test case starting point for the hardy-proposed package? Or do you have another suggestion for reproducing with the hardy package?

Thanks!
