Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal

I have added a new line at the end of my /etc/apt/sources.list

I forgot to add deb at the beginning.

Next, I start aptitude, which gives me an error message:

Apt errors
E: Type 'ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/' is not known on line 46 in 
source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.

When I press enter, the screen is blank, there is the menu, but there
are no packages to be seen.

I press u:

Ouch!  Got SIGSEGV, dying..
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

apt-get update on the other hand gives me a similar error message and
does not die.
