[Aptitude-devel] Bug#863705: aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol:

[Leandro Noferini]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.7-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Buongiorno,

I upgraded aptitude some minutes from stable to testing (for the new version that will arrive soon) but it gives me this error:

root at nasone:~# aptitude
aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol: _ZNK6Xapian8Database14postlist_beginERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE

And it stops to the shell prompt.
