Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-3
Severity: important
Starting aptitude fails due to a missing Xapian symbol:
$ aptitude
aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol:
_ZN6Xapian4MSetC1EOS0_
This is probably a bug in the syms in the applicable xapian library package
causing aptitude to get a library dependency that is too weak.
In particular, my system has a recent version of aptitude with an older version
of libxapian30, so there was probably a new symbol introduced in libxapian30
without adjusting the shared library dependency information.

Indeed, this is bug #910110, fixed in libxapian30 1.4.7-3. The current
version of aptitude (0.8.11-6) correctly depends on
libxapian30 (>= 1.4.8~).
Upgrade libxapian30 with apt-get or apt, then you can start aptitude
again.
Cheers,
Sven
