Bug Description
** I have not managed to use apport to report this (apport itself is crashing). I have attached the .crash and pasted the gdb backtrace below. **
KERNEL: 3.5.0-7-generic #7-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 31 07:22:20 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
RELEASE: 12.10 (Quantal)
The following is caused by invoking dpkg-query using double quotation marks (instead of single quotation marks) in the command syntax:
sudo dpkg-query -W -f="${provides}" apt
dpkg-query: error in show format: H�C0
