I'm not the only one seeing this, so I am relctantly upgrading it to RC.

Which sucks, I needed this version of apt in testing to release the d-i

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.42
Severity: important
Tags: d-i

apt-cache search <anything> seems to segfault on alpha (i386 and sparc
are ok). 0.6.41 was ok. Unfortunatly this prevents d-i from working
since it uses apt-cache search to work out what kernel packages are
available for install.

I built apt and got a backtrace, here's the result.

(gdb) r search apt
Starting program: /root/tmp/apt-0.6.42/build/bin/apt-cache search apt
