Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.1-1.1
Severity: normal

I love the new feature by which when a package is broken, aptitude
offers a choice of ways to resolve the problem.  But today I am
upgrading a machine that hasn't been touched for months, and with 400
new packages, if I type 'U', aptitude runs like crazy until it has a
process image of over 600MB, at which point it starts thrashing (I
have 512MB RAM).  It's probably hard to test this, but if there's a
quadratic algorithm lurking somewhere, it might be the culprit.
