Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi, first let me say THANKS! for your work with aptitude.  It is a dream
to use compared to everything else out there.

Here's the bug:
1) fire up aptitude
2) open "Not Installed Packages"
3) open "Priority extra"
4) open "non-free"
5) search for "pow"

On the "w" in "pow" I get

        Ouch!  Got SIGSEGV, dying..
        Segmentation fault

every time.

It's been ages since I've programmed; if you can't reproduce this
then remind me what steps I need to take to produce usable debugging
output. (I won't need detailed instructions, just an overview of the
steps as a refresher).

Here's my .aptitude/config:

aptitude "";
aptitude::UI "";
aptitude::UI::HelpBar "false";
aptitude::UI::Menubar-Autohide "true";
aptitude::UI::Minibuf-Prompts "false";
aptitude::UI::Incremental-Search "true";
aptitude::UI::Exit-On-Last-Close "true";
aptitude::UI::Prompt-On-Exit "true";
aptitude::UI::Pause-After-Download "true";
aptitude::UI::Minibuf-Download-Bar "false";
aptitude::UI::Description-Visible-By-Default "true";
aptitude::UI::Advance-On-Action "true";
aptitude::UI::Auto-Show-Reasons "true";
aptitude::UI::Default-Grouping 
"filter(missing),status,priority,section(topdir,passthrough),section(subdir)";
aptitude::UI::Package-Display-Format "#%r %M %15p %d %C %A %I %Z %13v %13V";
aptitude::UI::Package-Status-Format "%d #%m";
aptitude::UI::Package-Header-Format "%N %n -- %H #%B %u %o";
aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit "";

aptitude::Delete-Unused "false";
aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern "";
aptitude::Auto-Upgrade "true";
aptitude::AutoClean-After-Update "true";
aptitude::Changelog-URL-Template 
"http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/get-changelog?package=%s";;
aptitude::Display-Planned-Action "true";
aptitude::Forget-New-On-Update "false";
aptitude::Forget-New-On-Install "false";
aptitude::Warn-Not-Root "true";
aptitude::Log "/var/log/aptitude";

Thanks!

The "(Closes: #270057) unfortunately has been committed to the
upstream changelog and hence the bug has never been automatically closed.

I'm using %r for quite some years now in the default view and didn't
have any segfault of that kind recently (neither on normal, virtual
nor on no more available packages), so I'm quite sure that this issue
is fixed for quite a while now.

Closing this issue with the version of aptitude in the current Debian
Stable (Squeeze).
