I've just tried it here with the same results.
The problem is in the defconst form
'apt-utils-completing-read-hashtable-p' in the file apt-utils.el where a
test is made for the version of Emacs being used, and whether
completing-read supports hash table as input.
A quick fix would be to change the test as indicated:
(defconst apt-utils-completing-read-hashtable-p
(and (not apt-utils-xemacs-p)
(or
;; Next released version after 21.3 will support this
(and
(>= emacs-major-version 21)
(>= emacs-minor-version 5)) ; <----- was 4
(>= emacs-major-version 22)
;; As will the current pretest
(string-match "\\..*\\..*\\." emacs-version)))
"Non-nil if `completing-read' supports hash table as input.")
or simply to take out the major-version test < 22, on the likely
assumption that the next major release of Emacs will be version 22 (and
not 21.5).
Hope that helps.

Thanks Neil, I tried your first solution, and it took care of the problem,
but somehow font-locking was gone. I just checked the author's website,
and followed up to the package's latest version:
https://alioth.debian.org/projects/mph-emacs-pkgs
which has the following version of the defconst:
(defconst apt-utils-completing-read-hashtable-p
;; I think this is a valid way to check this feature...
(condition-case nil
(or (all-completions "" (make-hash-table)) t)
(error nil))
"Non-nil if `completing-read' supports hash table as input.")
This seems to be working normally again.
Cheers,
