Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

This is fixed in APT 1.9.8, which will be synced later today.

[Julian Andres Klode (juliank)]

This bug was fixed in the package apt - 1.9.8

---------------
apt (1.9.8) experimental; urgency=medium

  * pkgcache.cc: Mix PACKAGE_VERSION into the cache hash
  * mmap: Do not look for empty pool unless we need to
  * apt-verbatim.ent: Update ubuntu-codename from disco to focal
  * NewGroup: Create GrpIterator after allocation (fix segfault)

(Sorry, the bug is not listed in the changelog, so closed it with syncpackage, so it does not get forgotten - will take some time to migrate from proposed to release pocket)
