Title:
  apt-mark segfaults when holding an already held package

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “apt” source package in Precise:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I'm trying to hold back a package but apt-mark keeps segfaulting.

  # apt-mark hold wine1.7 wine1.7-dbg wine1.7-amd64
  wine1.7 was already set on hold.
  Segmentation fault (core dumped)

  dmesg:
  traps: apt-mark[505732] general protection ip:404d5f sp:7fff0f4a3330 error:0 in apt-mark[400000+a000]

  The hold does seem to be put in place for the first package, but any
  additional packages have to be held one-by-one due to the fault.
