[Bug 70005] Re: segfault on apt-get upgrade

[Joel Stanley]

the issue can be worked around by removing/renaming the srcpkgcache.bin
and pkgcache.bin files, located in /var/cache/apt.

of possible interest is bug 61708.

Before discovering the workaround, I manually downgraded all feisty
packages I thought would affect apt. The segfault still existed.

Also, I believe the .bin files were supposed to be regenerated when they
became corrupted - maybe the bug is in the corruption-detection code.
