Package: aptitude
Version: 0.5.2.1-1
Severity: normal
i started receiving this error when attempting to launch aptitude:
Uncaught exception: ./generic/problemresolver/choice.h:294: const typename
PackageUniverse::version& generic_choice<PackageUniverse>::get_ver() const
[with PackageUniverse = aptitude_universe]: Assertion "tp == install_version"
failed.
i can toggle this behavior by adding the suggested lines from
/usr/share/doc/ia32-apt-get/NEWS.Debian.gz to /etc/apt/preferences. with those
lines aptitude crashes on startup. without them it will start.
i have attached my /etc/apt/preferences and output from `apt-cache policy`.
thank you!
andy
