Sorry, but this bug is *not* fixed. The proposed "fix" in Commment #54: "This bug was fixed in the package apt-xapian-index - 0.37" does not apply to any currently released Ubuntu & only is available in an Alpha (Active Development) system. 10.14 is the current LTS release & according to: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-xapian-index only 0.25ubuntu2 is available for 10.04.
