tags 352278 + patch thanks Hi,
Two months ago my friend Kouhei Sutou <kou at cozmixng.org> reported to me that aptitude sometimes crashed on purge, and two days ago he presented me a patch to fix it as a birthday present :-). I don't know it is related to backtraces reported with this Bug#352278, but it may help to fix this bug at least partly. Could you check and apply it? Thanks, -nori
