[Bug 655154] Re: unattended-upgrade crashed with SIGSEGV in PyString_FromFormatV()

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package python-apt - 0.7.96.1ubuntu11.1

---------------
python-apt (0.7.96.1ubuntu11.1) maverick-proposed; urgency=low

  * python/acquire-item.cc:
    - fix format string for FileSize and PartialSize to be
      long long instead of float
    - use strsprint() instead of PyString_FromFormat() because the
      later does not support %llu until python 2.7. This fixes the
      segfault LP: #655154
