Package: python-apt
Version: 0.6.17

apt_pkg.GetCache() segfaults if called before apt_pkg.InitSystem():

>>> import apt_pkg
>>> apt_pkg.GetCache()
Segmentation fault

It should raise an exception like other functions do:

>>> import apt_pkg
>>> apt_pkg.VersionCompare("1","2")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: _system not initialized

Or alternatively, these functions should change to automatically call
InitSystem() if the caller hasn't already.
