Thanks for your bugreport.
 
 # apt-get install -qq /dev/null
 Segmentation fault
 
 It would be nice if apt could print a helpful error message instead
 of segfaulting. For example, this is what dpkg says:
 
 # dpkg -i /dev/null
 dpkg-deb: error: `/dev/null' is not a debian format archive
 dpkg: error processing archive /dev/null (--install):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
 Errors were encountered while processing:
 /dev/null

This is fixed in git now.

Cheers,
 Michael
