I had apport redirect me to this bug report just now.

The test case does not crash for me either anymore (after making sure that libqt4-core is installed before / at all).

The traceback from this report is:

 IOError: [Errno 40] Too many levels of symbolic links: '/tmp/apt-listchangesfKmDOW/usr/share/doc/ntrack-module-libnl-0/changelog.Debian.gz'

I am re-assigning it to apt-listchanges, because it appears to be a more generic problem.
