Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.10-1+b2 When I select a package in aptitude, and press Ctrl-Down, aptitude crashes after the next keypress. Example:
1. Start aptitude and select a package, e.g., the aptitude package. 2. Press [Ctrl-Down], then press [/]. aptitute immediately terminates, the terminals shows the following text (where first and last line are the shell prompts, indentation added by me): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sk# aptitude sh: reportbug: command not found Reporting a bug in aptitude: Uncaught exception: Unable to read from stdin: Success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sk# I installed 'reportbug' to report the bug, and ended up with the following: 1. Start aptitude and select the aptitude package. 2. Press [Ctrl-Down] aptitude disappears, and the original terminal is shown with the following text: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sk# aptitude Warning: no reportbug configuration found. Proceeding in novice mode. Running 'reportbug' as root is probably insecure! Continue [y|N|q|?]? 3. I don't want to do that: Press [N], [Return] aptitude shows again. But after the next keypress it dies: 4. Press [/] aptitute immediately terminates, the terminals shows the following text: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sk# aptitude Warning: no reportbug configuration found. Proceeding in novice mode. Running 'reportbug' as root is probably insecure! Continue [y|N|q|?]? n reportbug stopped. Reporting a bug in aptitude: Uncaught exception: Unable to read from stdin: Success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/sk# This seems to be a Heisenbug [1], somewhat related to whether 'reportbug' is available or not. I guess that the way 'aptitude' calls 'reportbug' is buggy. _____ [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unusual_software_bug#Heisenbugs ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here's my '~root/.aptitude/config': aptitude ""; aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern ""; aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern ""; aptitude::UI ""; aptitude::UI::HelpBar "false"; aptitude::UI::Menubar-Autohide "true"; aptitude::UI::Advance-On-Action "false"; aptitude::UI::Minibuf-Prompts "true"; aptitude::Auto-Fix-Broken "false"; aptitude::Recommends-Important "false"; ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here's the dependency listing (aptitude screenshot): i --\ aptitude 0.4.10-1+b 0.4.10-1+b --\ Depends --- libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 --- libc6 (>= 2.7-1) --- libcwidget1 --- libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21) --- libncursesw5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3) --- libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2) --- libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1-4) --\ Suggests --- debtags (UNSATISFIED) --- tasksel (UNSATISFIED) --\ Recommends --- aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-doc (UNSATISFIED) --- libparse-debianchangelog-perl (UNSATISFIED) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> uname -a Linux phobos18 2.6.24-1-686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 27 17:45:04 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> dpkg -s libc6 | grep ^Version Version: 2.7-10 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> reportbug -q --template -T none -s none -S normal -b --list-cc no ne -q aptitude Warning: no reportbug configuration found.
