So it was a hardware issue, as I suspected. OK, good luck with your new system and thanks for following up on this bug report and for closing it properly.

Control: close -1 Hi, Sorry for the late reply, life somehow got in the way of solving the bug. The machine on which I was encountering the issue died on Friday, and the x230 that replaces it (the system was dd'ed over without modification) does not exhibit the problem anymore, so I will assume this was memory-related and close the issue here.

Hi, First, sorry for not answering earlier, I somehow didn't notice your last message. I had already run memtest86+. However, I didn't notice the first time that it froze after ~3 minutes. I will test again this afternoon with another pair of RAM sticks. Best, nicoo PS: Tag “moreinfo” left on purpose. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Non-deterministically? I am beginning to suspect that what you are experiencing is due to hardware issues... For instance, you could perform a complete check of the RAM with Memtest86+ [1], in case you haven't already done so.

Don't worry, it was easy to change it...

Yes, no segfault here.
Since I am not at all able to reproduce the issue, I wonder how often
you experience the segfault:
a) did you get the segfault only once? or do you get it each time you
attempt to run apt-listbugs (as part of an apt invocation)?
b) can you reproduce the segfault with a simple apt-listbugs
invocation like the following (as a regular user)?
$ apt-listbugs list aptitude
Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
serious bugs of aptitude (→ )
b1 - #802958 - aptitude: artificial report to prevent migrating the
package to testing
Summary:
aptitude(1 bug)
c) does it make a difference, if you try the above command as root? as
a regular user but with root privileges (via sudo)?
P.S.: I am re-adding the moreinfo tag, since I am asking for more
details (with the above questions); needless to say, feel free to
remove the moreinfo tag, once you answered...

Hello Francesco,
Sorry for the wrong severity, I'm still somewhat new to contributing to Debian.
Here is the test you wanted, which seems to come back clean:

Hello Nicolas,
thanks for your bug report.
Please do not inflate the severity, though: I use apt-listbugs/0.1.17
on a number of machines, and I have never experienced any segfault.

Thanks for all this information, I will soon try to understand what's
going on.
In the meanwhile, could you please do the following test?
Please invoke the interactive Ruby interpreter and issue the following
commands:
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'unicode'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Unicode.width("that is")
=> 7
irb(main):003:0> Unicode.width("cioè")
=> 4
irb(main):004:0> exit
Please let me know, thanks.
