Package: debtags-edit Version: 1.1.3 Followup-For: Bug #391575 The issue is caused by a bug in libapt-front-dev. I attached a patch and I will open a bug against libapt-front-dev (debtags-edit still needs to be rebuilt when libapt-front-dev is fixed since its statically linked against libapt-front).
