Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
aptitude segmentation faults on start up, as root or normal user, on my armel
machine.
apt-get and other apt utilities seem fine.
Weirdly when I use strace I no longer get the segmentation fault and aptitude
will run.
da...@thaney:~$ strace -o /tmp/strace_aptitude_user.out aptitude update
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13 Permission
denied)
E: Couldn't lock list directory..are you root?
da...@thaney:~$ aptitude update
Segmentation fault
