This might be, but i think this is unlikely.

from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/ :

libapt-pkg-dev_0.6.46.4ubuntu3_i386.deb     18-Dec-2006 13:04 -- this version is ok
libapt-pkg-dev_0.6.46.4ubuntu4_i386.deb     19-Dec-2006 11:04 -- this version breaks

And the bug report on launchpad is dated about half a week back before the last
working version was released.
