Suddenly aptitude and apt are both bombing with segfaults; it seems to be related to the cache, as in aptitude I see the message "loading cache" before it dies:
Ouch! Got SIGSEGV, dying..
From apt-get update:

Segmentation fault
E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i'

From syslog after aptitude run:

From syslog after apt-get update run:

I've tried increasing the cache-limit in the conf files to no avail:
APT::Cache-Limit "10000000000";
Any ideas out there in guru-land that I might try?
rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo find / -name libapt-pkg.so
. I did not found any, but maybe you may need to reinstall it by hand, as*.so
files are shared librarys.libapt-pkg.so.4.12.0
and put it where the old package is
