Public bug reported:
Python 2.5 segfaults in some circumstances when examining the property
apt.package.Package.installedPriority. The following interactive Python
session reliably reproduces the crash (I'm running Hardy):
==============================
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 31 2008, 17:28:52)
[GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from apt.cache import Cache
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt/__init__.py:18: FutureWarning: apt API not
stable yet
warnings.warn("apt API not stable yet", FutureWarning)
>>> installed_packages = [i for i in Cache() if i.isInstalled]
>>> non_optional_packages = [i for i in installed_packages if
>>> i.installedPriority != 'optional']
Segmentation fault
=============================
I'm attaching a test script that exercises this bug further. The
comments document several different ways of using the script to produce
different output. Because it's possible that installedPriority doesn't
like one or more of my installed packages, I'm also attaching a list of
the packages installed on my system.
