Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1
Severity: important
If I run aptitude it tries to start the curses interface then dies with:
Uncaught exception: ../../../src/cwidget/columnify.h:64:
cwidget::column::column(const cwidget::column_disposition&, int, bool,
bool): Assertion "_width>=0" failed.
The way I got it into this state was by editing the preferences to add
%t to 'The dsiplay format for package views' (as I do to all my
aptitude installations). I then failed to remember which key closed
that view (hit escape a few times) so decided to switch view to get
back to the package view. Hit F10 to go to 'Views' selected 'Packages'.
Aptitude bombed out (with no message) instead of showing that view.
Restarting it gives the above assert every time so I have clearly got it
into as 'bad state'. Clues for how to fix it, or help you track down
the problem if you can't reproduce it, are very welcome.
