Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1 Severity: normal aptitude died with this error message: Uncaught exception: vscreen/vs_subtree.h:57: vs_treeitem* vs_subtree<childtype,sorter>::levelref::get_item() [with childtype = pkg_tree_node, default_sorter = tag_sort_policy]: Assertion "realitem!=parent_list->end()" failed.
I was running aptitude as root on the Linux text console. I used the Limit Display option in the search menu with the pattern ~c. I purged all the packages with old config files kicking around (esp. the xfree86-common files can cause weirdness when the xorg-common files are there too.) Anyway, after dpkg was done, aptitude displayed its menu bar, but the package list was empty, as it should be. When I pressed up arrow, aptitude died. That makes sense, because aptitude can't normally get into that state; Hitting 'l' and putting in a pattern that doesn't match any packages elicits a complaint, not an empty list. happy hacking, -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.12.6-safe Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3.1 0.6.43 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.5-8.1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.2-5 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.16-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.0.2-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
