I am affected as well. I'm using Linux Mint 17 on a 64-bit laptop. For me the error came immediately (or after downloading for apt-get update) and gave the following message :

       Segmentation fault
       E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i'
       E: Sub-process returned an error code

I used the debugger to determine that the offending line in apt-show-versions was line 55 :

    my $cache = AptPkg::Cache->new;

The fix provided above worked. Deleting any files in /var didn't.
