Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.12-3 Followup-For: Bug #373846 Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation? Some unknown sequence of packages slowly being installed and perhaps getting broken over time? It only showed up when I started trying to install libpcl-dev:i386, but now aptitude is stuck trying to resolve dependencies. Nothing I can do seems to be able to stop it; that is, if I kill aptitude and start it again, it just starts over trying to resolve dependencies. If I try to use the "Cancel pending actions", aptitude dies with a segfault (I will open a separate bug for this specific behavior). * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Nothing was effective. Killing and restarting aptitude had no effect. "Cancel pending actions" led to a SIGSEGV and also had no positive effect. Based on the advice of closed bug #665794, I have used aptitude-create-state-bundle; the file is 168 MB. Kindly suggest where to upload it. Many thanks. -- Package-specific info: Terminal: xterm-256color $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.8.12 Compiler: g++ 9.2.1 20200224 Compiled against: apt version 6.0.0 NCurses version 6.2 libsigc++ version: 2.10.2 Gtk+ support disabled.
