# Addition Details

I am tracking error point using "printf debug", and I revealed error point.

the memory access error is cause `ensureChangelogCache`

https://github.com/future-architect/vuls/blob/master/scan/debian.go#L276

`cached, found, err := cache.DB.GetMeta(current.Name)`

current.Name passed to `localhost`
I am debuged cache.DB.GetMeta,but this func is not called(when i settle `fmt.Printf` in cache.DB.GetMeta function,this is not called)
