apt-check crashed with signal 7 in strlen()

Binary package hint: update-notifier

Well... I didn't do anything myself. No-one was near the computer when this happened.

I'll be happy to supply any information.

I see other bugs with a similar name but I'm leaving it up to someone who knows what he's doing to mark this as a duplicate if it is so.
