Hello, I have recently added node sources to my Ubuntu 14.04 droplet (the LEMP package) and today when trying to run apt-get update I’m getting following error message:
...

Killed
E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i'
E: Sub-process returned an error code
The package list seems to be read but at the end there’s this error. The only sensible solution I found googling is to remove apt-show-versions package if I don’t use it. I haven’t done that yet, hoping I would find another solution.
Thanks in advance.

Im having a similar behaviour:
Suddenly im having issues with my apt upgrade
Excuting: apt-update & apt-upgrade -y I'm getting this error:
Max. recursion depth with nested structures exceeded at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/Storable.pm line 278, at /usr/bin/apt-show-versions line 271.
E: Problem executing scripts APT :: Update :: Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i'
E: Sub-process returned an error code
I reinstalled apt-show-versions I upgraded CPAN modules
It’s a bug in apt-show-versions, which is apparently fixed in the next version (0.22.9) - check out https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=912695
My error wasn’t exactly the same–mine was just saying Killed. After messing around with it for a while, a reboot fixed it.
