USN-7916-1 fixed a vulnerability in python-apt. The update had a
PEP 440 incompatible version. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Julian Andres Klode discovered that python-apt incorrectly handled
deb822 configuration files. An attacker could use this issue to cause
python-apt to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
