The key to upgrade a package in aptitude's curses interface is '+', not
'B', 'B' is to report a bug on that package (a feature with many
problems and that perhaps is removed soon).

So:

- does upgrade work when you press '+'?

- do you still see crashes with 'B'?  This code hasn't changed for years
  and it works fine for me, but maybe it indeed crashes if reportbug is
  missing or depending on interactions with other components of your
  system.


Cheers.
