Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.3-1 Severity: normal When I run aptitude as a command-line tool (aptitude update/upgrade/install) it seems to work fine.
However, when I try to start it in the visual mode (without parameters) aptitude crashes with the following message: ** Uncaught exception in resolver thread: Unexpectedly non-broken dependency ctsim 4.5.2-1.1 -> {ctsim-pentium4 [UNINST]}! (ctsim 4.5.2-1.1 is not installed) Ouch! Got SIGABRT, dying..

Computed tomography is the technique of estimating the interior of an object by measuring x-ray absorption through that object. CTSim has both command-line tools and a graphical user interface. CTSim has very educational trace modes for viewing the data collection simulation as well as the reconstruction.
