Package: apt
Version: 0.3.12
Severity: normal
I'm not sure if this is an apt bug or if it's a local configuration error or
something entirely different. I have no ideas on how to debug this - both
ltrace and strace seem to give me no clues.
Observe:
$ sudo apt-get -y dselect-upgrade

E: Write error - write (32 Broken pipe)

This has consistently happened on me with the new apt version all the time.
Doing a dpkg -iGROEB on the apt archives shows no errors, so it seems to have
nothing to do with what packages were downloaded today.
