However, when I try to start it in the visual mode (without parameters) aptitude crashes with the following message: ** Uncaught exception in resolver thread: Unexpectedly non-broken dependency ctsim 4.5.2-1.1 -> {ctsim-pentium4 [UNINST]}!

--- Begin Message ---Source-Version: 0.4.11-1 Hi, Searching for the string "Unexpectedly non-broken dependency" in bugs.debian.org, there appear many bugs from that time in aptitude, all of them more or less sharing the same symptoms and closed with the same set of fixes in similar versions, for example: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=421395 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420358 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432411 So I think that these bugs were the same underlying problem, just that they were not closed at that time, and I haven't seen any bugs recently indicating that this might happen. If you believe that this is not the cause, have been experiencing this problem after that, can provide new information or simply still have concerns about these bug reports, please reopen them. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <[email protected]>
