[Bug 985452] Re: apt-ftparchive fails on scanning large repositories

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu9

---------------
apt (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu9) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * apt-inst/contrib/extracttar.cc:
    - ensure that in StartGzip the InFd is set to "AutoClose" to ensure
      that the pipe is closed when InFd is closed. This fixes a Fd leak
      (LP: #985452)
