Bug#818919: aptitude markauto runs wild, if package does not exist

Hi,

2016-03-21 18:23 zieg...@uni-freiburg.de:

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.8-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

If PATTERN does not match a package, the command

  aptitude markauto PATTERN

does not stop, using 100% CPU. Example

aptitude markauto 1234

The same is true for "aptitude forbid-version".


It works fine around here:

 # aptitude markauto 1234
 Couldn't find any package matching "1234", but there are 15 packages which contain 
"1234" in their description:
   modem-cmd modem-cmd:i386 libmath-nocarry-perl libnxml0 libnxml0:i386 tcs 
tcs:i386 postgresql-9.5-prefix postgresql-9.5-prefix:i386 
libscalar-properties-perl
   golang-github-jinzhu-now-dev libnxml0-dbg libnxml0-dbg:i386 libnxml0-dev 
libnxml0-dev:i386
 Unable to apply some actions, aborting

 # aptitude forbid-version 1234
 Couldn't find any package matching "1234", but there are 15 packages which contain 
"1234" in their description:
   modem-cmd modem-cmd:i386 libmath-nocarry-perl libnxml0 libnxml0:i386 tcs 
tcs:i386 postgresql-9.5-prefix postgresql-9.5-prefix:i386 
libscalar-properties-perl
   golang-github-jinzhu-now-dev libnxml0-dbg libnxml0-dbg:i386 libnxml0-dev 
libnxml0-dev:i386

Would you be able to get a backtrace with gdb or valgrind,
aptitude-dbgsym installed, and Control-C after a few seconds when
looping (maybe a couple of minutes with valgrind)?


Cheers.
