I've been a little stymied on this bug, since I can't reproduce it myself and check the backtraces, but it looks like Jiří Paleček has sent a patch to the bug log for a problem that is obvious now that he pointed it out.

If I'm not mistaken though that problem was corrected. My lenny box does have libc6-i686 now and I have no problems with aptitude. Is your mirror up to date? I assume that ftp.us.debian.org is up to date :) I just updated yesterday and aptitude kept becoming unresponsive. I'll remove the library and see what happens. Patrick

Aptitude losing "focus"
Hello: I know others have reported this, but aptitude (on my testing system) keeps losing the keyboard. As someone else said, the keystrokes are going to the terminal from which it was started. One suggestion was to remove libc6-i686. Is that a safe thing to do? And will it, if so, noticeably impair performance? Patrick
