It seems like current apk segfaults when I run apk ugprade

I can reproduce it on both x86 and x86_64.

Contents of /etc/apk/repositories:

http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/main
http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing
@v2.4 http://nl.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.4/testing

It didn’t make any difference if i remove the @v2.4 repo.

The backtrace:

It is internal bug, but don't segfault on it. Fixes #1576.
