[Aptitude-devel] Bug#727544: aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol

[Salvo 'LtWorf' Tomaselli]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.8.2-1.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
when running aptitude, with any parameters, i get this:

aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol: _ZNK7tagcoll4coll4FastISsSsE13getTagsOfItemERKSs

I have just updated the following packages:
glx-alternative-mesa glx-alternative-nvidia glx-diversions libept1.4.12
libllvm3.3 libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0 python-apt python-apt-common python3-apt 

Before the update, aptitude was working fine.

Regards
