Bug Description
Binary package hint: apport
I received an error using apt with a mention of a particular repo (ddebs.ubuntu.com). I'm not sure if the error means that I already have too many repos or packages' versions in the db, but disabling all the ddebs repos restored apt's functionality.
Apt was crashing aptitude, update-manager and probably more. I'll report the crash for apt-xapian-index and mark it duplicate of this one.
