Package : python-apt
Debian Bug : 977000
The update for python-apt released as DSA 4809-1 introduced a regression
when passing a file descriptor to apt_inst.ArFile or apt_inst.DebFile
causing a segmentation fault. Updated python-apt packages are now
available to correct this issue.
For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.8.4.3.
We recommend that you upgrade your python-apt packages.
