E: Method http has died unexpectedly!
Similar problem in synaptic. Other programs have been randomly segfaulting on network connections as well for a few days (although synaptic was working in the meantime).
Can anyone explain why this is marked as a duplicate of #39990 ? I don't see any relationship between the two.
I have been seeing this behavior for quite a while. It seems to happen much, much more on a low-latency network with an APT mirror. I have seen it more over IPv6 than IPv4, but I have seen it over both.
