Can you try a 32 bits version or do you want me to give you a SSH access

Hi,
I've made a 32-bit squeeze VE and was able to reproduce this issue
straight away.
I thought Soeren was experiencing the bug on amd64 because that was
mentioned in the 'reportbug' output in the initial report. If this bug
is really specific to a 32-bit userland then that could be why it hasn't
affected any of my OpenVZ VE's (which were all amd64). I don't think
the kernel's version or architecture will matter in this case.
python-apt 0.7.96.1 works fine, but is only installable with older
packages apt-utils 0.7.25.3 and apt 0.7.25.3
If I upgrade to python-apt 0.7.97.1, which requires newer apt-utils
0.8.0 and apt 0.8.0, the segfault happens quite consistently when trying
to upgrade any package. An easy way to trigger this is to downgrade
something older version, eg. tzdata 2010k-1, and then it will try (and
fail) to upgrade to the latest version from testing.
All of these old package versions can be found on snapshots.debian.org
I'll take a look at the python-apt 0.7.96.1 and 0.7.97.1 sources and
rebuild each on my own system to see if I can work out where the bug was
introduced.
There was a 0.7.97 version in between but it seems that FTBFS on i386,
hence 0.7.97.1 replaced it the same day. I may take a look at that too
in case the fix for that issue is somehow related to this segfault.
