[Bug 896689] Re: <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'version'

[Julian Andres Klode]

Especially every package without a candidate version seems to have this
property set:

apt's depcache.cc around line 1500:
   if (Pkg->CurrentVer == 0 || Pkg->VersionList == 0 || CandidateVer == 0)
     Status = 2;   

and 
  inline bool Upgradable() const {return Status >= 1;};

which should probably be
  inline bool Upgradable() const {return Status >= 2 && CandidateVersion ;};

this would of course requires a rebuild of reverse dependencies and is
probably not entirely correct either.
