Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1
Severity: normal

If I select vlc for installation on sid, it gets flagged as broken
because dbus-1 and libhal0 are not available.  If now I press ENTER to
get the info window, scroll to libhal0, unfold it, and hit "+", I get
a segfault.

Backtrace from core files is:

#0  0x4011dd45 in __pthread_alt_unlock () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#1  0x4011aae4 in pthread_mutex_unlock () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2  0x40118570 in pthread_cond_wait@GLIBC_2.0 () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#3  0x081f8242 in pkgAcquire::Item::Custom600Headers ()
#4  0x0822089a in pkgAcquire::Item::Custom600Headers ()
#5  0x40118f4c in pthread_start_thread () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#6  0x4032d99a in clone () from /lib/libc.so.6

After reproducing the crash twice, I cannot trigger it any more, but
maybe the core file could help ?

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry to keep the
bug unattended for so long.  There's now an effort to review the open
bugs related with aptitude and resume development.

This bug report provides useful information, but it was not quite
reproducible, and by now it's quite dated.

Back in the day (6 years ago) the main developer made a remark about
the bug being weird, and neither him nor the submitter followed up, so
I guess that the only option now is to close the bug report.

Regards.
