My system is still in a state where I can easily reproduce the crash. The tar file is here: http://www.speakeasy.org/~nestler/aptitude-bug343839.tar.bz2 The scenario required to reproduce the crash is even simpler now. I have a handful of packages on hold (mozilla-firefox and all of the e2fsprogs binary packages) and I am trying to purge bittorrent and libwine-arts. Nothing is being upgraded, downgraded, or installed. I still get a segfault. The backtrace is hard to paste here because gdb's terminal gets totally messed up when running aptitude inside of it. I assume you can reproduce it. It involves pkgSimulate::Policy::~Policy() which is mentioned in another Bug (343488). However, applying the patch from that bug did not solve the problem. Also, downgrading aptitude to version 0.4.0-5 did not solve the problem either. -Ivan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
