apt-get segmentation fault

[Adrian Holovaty]

I installed Fedora Core 1 last night. Just after installation, I manually 
installed the apt RPM (apt-0.5.15cnc1-0.fdr.3.1.i386.rpm). In 
/etc/apt/sources.list, I commented out the master repository and added two 
repositories (mirrors.usc.edu and rpm.livna.org). I was able to run apt-get 
successfully for several packages -- xmms, mplayer, etc.

Today, though, apt-get suddenly segfaults when I run it. Here are two 
examples:

[root at localhost adrian]# apt-get update

Get:2 http://macromedia.mplug.org fedora/1 release [504B]
Get:3 http://rpm.livna.org fedora/1/i386 release [1120B]

[root at localhost apt]# apt-get install httpd-devel
Segmentation fault

Any idea why this is happening? I can't think of anything I've done that would 
have caused it. I'd be happy to post any conf files if requested.
