Bug#71092: apt: failure to install apt 1.9.17-1

[Philip Armstrong <phil@kantaka.co.uk>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: normal


I *think* this is an apt problem, but it might be a dpkg one. Synptoms were:

an apt-get install of leafnode_1.9.17-1 fails with a reported error from
dpkg about a failed post-install script. Installing the deb by hand with
dpkg -i from the package in the apt cache directory worked fine. Odd.
