Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.4-4
Severity: normal
If I use the following format string for aptitude
Aptitude::UI {
Package-Display-Format "%c%a%M%S%T%i %p %r %Z %I %15v %15V";
};
in /etc/apt/apt.conf, aptitude segfaults while scrolling down in
interactive mode through the list under:
--\ Not Installed Packages
--\ admin - Administrative utilities (install software, manage users, etc)
--- contrib - Programs which depend on software not in Debian
--\ main - The main Debian archive
If I scroll down one by one or page-wise , it reproducibly segfaults
if I want to scroll further than the package
libhtml-htmltokenizer-ruby.
If I remove the "%r" from the format string, it works fine again.
The box is an UML guest system and is freshly dist-upgraded from
Sarge. (It started it's life as a Woody system a few years ago.)
I couldn't reproduce the same problem on a real box (NorhTec
MicroClient Jr., SiS550 200MHz Pentium-1-compatible embedded system)
with also Etch and 2.6.19.2 kernel with just putting (only) the above
in the /etc/apt/apt.conf, so it may have some dependencies on either
the kernel config or on being inside an UML system.
I've put three core-dumps and one strace into
http://noone.org/debian/Bug-Reports/aptitude-segfault-cores.tgz
The first core is with scrolling page-wise, the second with scrolling
line by line and the third is page-wise again, but belongs to the
straces.
I also made a backtrace with gdb:

This bug maybe related to or at least looks similar to
http://bugs.debian.org/270057 but does happen with real packages
instead of virtual packages.
