[Bug 1787120] Re: apt show fails to show large records

[Łukasz Zemczak]

As per commit message, this is basically 'fixed' in 1.7.x (in a rewrite
of the same code that made the problem go away before getting reported).
Marking it as 'Invalid' since I guess that's the most fitting way.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Bionic)
       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic
