Public bug reported:

I wanted to see what would happen if I removed all i386 packages (I am
on amd64) so I ran

aptitude -s remove '~ri386 ~i'

I got a segfault.  I compiled aptitude with debug info and got this
backtrace:

#0  0x00007ffff5a518ef in _int_malloc (av=av@entry=0x7ffff5d94c00 <main_arena>, 
bytes=bytes@entry=48)
    at malloc.c:3326
#1  0x00007ffff5a5450e in __GI___libc_malloc (bytes=48) at malloc.c:2895
#2  0x00007ffff6347188 in operator new(unsigned long) () from 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
#3  0x00007ffff7b42177 in pkgDepCache::SetReInstall(pkgCache::PkgIterator 
const&, bool) ()
   from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.4.16
#4  0x0000555555795974 in aptitudeDepCache::internal_mark_delete 
(this=0x555555daff30, Pkg=..., Purge=false, 
    unused_delete=true) at ../../../../src/generic/apt/aptcache.cc:1248

There then follow hundreds more repetitions of internal_mark_delete.  I
am not sure if this is very deep recursion, or stack corruption, or
what.

I assume this is probably specific to the set of packages I have
installed.  What is the best way for me to send the information that you
need?
