Bug Description

We would like to move downloading in aptdaemon to a separate thread but it seems that apt isn't very thread safe. Also main thread doesn't do any changes we see a lot of string operation crashes in pkgAcqArchive::Done(std::string, unsigned long long, std::string, pkgAcquire::MethodConfig*) ()
