Hello Ivan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apt into zesty-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/1.4.8 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-zesty to verification-done-zesty. If it does not fix
the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag
to verification-failed-zesty. In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.

Title:
  method mirror broken at 1.3

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed
Status in apt source package in Zesty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  The mirror method always dies with a SEGV. It does not initialize _system but calls a function that sometimes uses it.

  [Test case]
  Use a mirror sources.list entry like

  deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt zesty main restricted
  universe multiverse

  [Regression potential]
  The fix is small, and simply avoids using _system if _system is NULL in the called method. There should not be any regressions due to this.
