I disagree on both.

The Categorical Browser is a historic feature which is is bound to be
removed from Aptitude and whose functionality has been superseeded by
the Debtags Browser for quite a while now.

See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717317#16 and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717317#16 for
reference.

So It's useless to invest time to fix anything in there, except maybe
patching out the menu entry if you really want users not to run into
this issue (which only appears on multi-arch systems btw., see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=686124#10 for
reference).

                Regards, Axel
