Bug#849370: aptitude: Aptitude crashes with SIGABRT on install command

[Jonathan Seeley]

I just built aptitude with the patch referenced by #836567 and it has
eliminated the crash, so it seems you were right and it is working as a
stop-gap measure.

'virtualbox' is one package which seems to consistently cause the crash for
me, even when using the CLI.

Bug#849370: Re%3A aptitude%3A Aptitude crashes with SIGABRT on install command

[Jonathan Seeley]

Here's a backtrace from my attempt. In my case, I attempted using 'g' in
the ncurses UI vs installing on the CLI as I had mixed results getting it
to repeat on the normal CLI.
method: gdb aptitude
type: run
press 'g' after aptitude loads.

Similarly, I had the issue occur if I tried shift+U to select all
upgradeable packages for upgrade.
