Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.7-1 Severity: normal Hi,
This has occurred now two or three times to me in the last week or so.
After pressing enter to continue at the prompt after upgrading
packages, aptitude often segfaults ("ouch, got SIGSEGV, dying" or
something like that). This doesn't happen every time, though.
It doesn't seem to have left anything in an inconsistent state after
the crash anyway.
At least the last time this happened, it managed to redraw the ui
before crashing. I think I didn't press F10 for the menu or anything
like that before the crash.
I now recompiled apt and aptitude with debug symbols and no
optimization and will try running aptitude under valgrind and to catch
this inside gdb.
