Public bug reported:
APT 1.9.6 introduced empty groups by making use of groups to
deduplicate package names.
This caused a problem in NewProvidesAllArch because automake was providing
automake-1.16
while having the source package automake-1.16. So we found the
automake-1.16 group, iterated over its empty package list, trying
to store the provides (which hence never happened).
** Affects: apt (Ubuntu)
Importance: Critical
