[Aptitude-devel] Bug#824441: aptitude segfaults when marking texlive-generic-extra as auto-installed

[James Tocknell]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: important

As per the title, aptitude segfaults when marking texlive-generic-extra as
auto-installed. I'm marking it as auto-installed via the keyboard shortcut.
The segfault happens when I'm in the default limit as well as the limit "!~M".
This happens every time I do this, whether it's the first thing I do in
aptitude, or after doing something else.

Are there debug symbols for aptitude in unstable so I can provide a backtrace,
they only appear to be in testing?
