        <title>upgrading libapt-4.12 breaks everything</title>
        <description> I have installed Debian squeeze on my Seagate dockstar,a while ago then successfully upgraded with apt-get to wheezy (7.1) last July.  Now I&amp;#039;m trying to upgrade to 7.3.  There about 40 packages that need to be upgraded.  Things go smoothly through the first several of them, but after it upgrades libapt-pkg4.12 nothing works.  Except for some bultin bash commands, any command I type at the shell prompt back with either &amp;quot;Illegal Instruction&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Segmentation fault&amp;quot;.  I have the netconsole module loaded in the initramfs, so I can tell that when I reboot the system it dies with a kernel panic.   Fortunately, I saved a copy of the file system.  Just installing that single package breaks the system.  I looked at the package contents and it only has locale files in /usr/share/locales, documentation files in /usr/share/doc and the library in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0.  Nothing that seems like it should break the system in such a profound way.  Does anyone have any idea what could be going on here or how I should look into it?</description>
