I had sent you the strace output in private mail.

Since this morning I got the SIGSEGV also with my own repository,
but only for 3 hosts of about 400. No other repos except for

   deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
   deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free
   deb http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
   deb-src http://security.debian.org/ buster/updates main contrib non-free

are in sources.list of these 3 hosts.

This started pretty weird: Using clusterssh I had upgraded about 30
Debian hosts (Buster and Bullseye, real hardware and LXC containers) in
parallel, including these 3 containers. All succeeded. When I pressed 'f'
and entered no pattern these 3 hosts died with a SIGSEGV for the first
time. Reproducible. Restarting aptitude did not help, they died on 'f'
again.

I ran

   aptitude forget-new

on the command line. This succeeded. Since then these 3 hosts die
immediately on running aptitude, not waiting for 'f' or any other
input.

Hope this helps

Regards
Harri
