apport (2.19.1-0ubuntu4) wily-security; urgency=medium
* test_backend_apt_dpkg.py: Reset internal apt caches between tests. Avoids
random test failures due to leaking paths from previous test cases.
* SECURITY FIX: When determining the path of a Python module for a program
like "python -m module_name", avoid actually importing and running the
module; this could lead to local root privilege escalation. Thanks to
Gabriel Campana for discovering this and the fix!
