Possible access violation in APT logger

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If you try to log
apt_log(APT_LOG_MARK, APT_PRIO_WARNING, "We print string with %%s");
then the default logger function, apt_do_log at apt_log.c:260 tries to
print and format the log entry with
printf(log_entry);
which is in fact
printf("...some artifacts... We print string with %s");
You ought to use a non-formatting function:
fwrite(log_entry, offset, 1, stdout);
or alternatively
printf("%.*s", offset, log_entry);
