[Bug 55900] Re: aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian
(It didn't apply cleanly for some reason so I applied it manually) It seems to be fixed. I installed 'dia' and 'sketch' without problems. Consider the problem solved and if it happens again I'll follow up on this bug report.

The attached patch should fix the problem. I commited it to my bzr tree and it will be part of the next upload. If you could confirm that it fixes the segfault for you, that would be ncie. About your questions why a rebuild often helps: in C++ its easy to break a public interface in a way that makes older applications that are linked to the libarary break in subtle ways. The fix is of course to change the c++ library .so name to avoid breakage. But sometimes (by accident) this is not done by the maintainer. A simple rebuild solve this kind of problem because all that is required is a relinking against the new library. -- aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian https://launchpad.net/bugs/55900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks, I can reproduce this problem here with apt-get as well, it looks like a problem with in libapt : $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall-recommends dia segfaults as well. ** Changed in: aptitude (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: aptitude => apt Importance: Untriaged => High Assignee: (unassigned) => Michael Vogt -- aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian https://launchpad.net/bugs/55900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It doesn't - I had to rebuild to get the debug version of aptitude (out of curiosity: how is rebuilding supposed to solve the issue - I know it sometimes does, but why?) -- aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian https://launchpad.net/bugs/55900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 55900] Re: aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian
Thanks for your bugreport. Could you please check if a rebuild of aptitude helps to fix the issue? Please run: $ sudo apt-get build-dep aptitude $ sudo apt-get source -b aptitude and install the build packages.

[Bug 55900] Re: aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian
After installing lintian with apt-get, and without removing lintian, 'sudo aptitude install lintian' no longer crashes and works as expected (i.e. does nothing). Then I do 'sudo apt-get remove lintian' and 'sudo aptitude install lintian' and again, no crash. Afterwards, 'sudo aptitude purge lintian' and 'sudo aptitude install lintian' are also working fine... -- aptitude crashes when trying to install lintian https://launchpad.net/bugs/55900 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
