Dear Maintainer,

after update apt I got the following error:
apt autoremove --purge
apt: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0:
undefined symbol: _ZNK11pkgDepCache14PhasingAppliedEN8pkgCache11PkgIteratorE,
version APTPKG_6.0

I'm afraid something on your system is messed up, but I don't see
how this can be a bug in apt.

This should not be possible, the apt binary and libapt-private
are in the same binary package (apt), and that Depends on libapt-pkg6.0
(>= 2.7.11) which adds the symbol.

The autopkgtests have passed, it runs on my (Ubuntu) system, and
works fine in a clean OCI container:

I was also affected by this error. I think it has to do with the recent
time_t transition in experimental. I had libapt-pkg6.0t64:riscv64
2.7.10+nmu1~exp1 installed before.
