Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.3-3.2 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line *** Just today saw that for some reason aptitude seems broken. Dunno the reason. I don't know if its do with aptitude or some other update which introduced the issue. The issue is simple
Before I could do something like $sudo aptitude purge linux-image[TAB] putting down the tab it would autocomplete or/and give other options if there were multiple options (it would do some kinda grep) Now after the update of aptitude few days ago and other things I get something like this :- sudo aptitude purge linux-image [TAB]grep-status: /var/lib/dpkg/status:14651: expected a colon Now I can see this is telling me something but where the issue is I am not able to follow, can somebody share with me ? -- Package-specific info: aptitude 0.6.3 compiled at Oct 16 2010 18:18:04 Compiler: g++ 4.4.5 Compiled against: apt version 4.10.1 NCurses version 5.7 libsigc++ version: 2.2.4.2 Ept support enabled.
