I'm encountering the same problem on my Toshiba Satellite Pro laptop as well. Aptitude works fine on my other systems (using the same version: 0.4.4-1). I found the following message [1] mentioning a dependency on shlibs but the bug report it points to [2] does not contain much information. I installed d-shlibs in an attempt to resolve the issue but it didn't help. Strangely I get this error at the moment when I try to update the package list when I use aptitude interactively but not when I run aptitude update from the command line. However when I run aptitude keep-all I do get the error after it has written the extended state information. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 613 not upgraded. Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used. Writing extended state information... Done aptitude: symbol lookup error: aptitude: undefined symbol: _ZN9pkgPolicyD2Ev The exit code is 127 by the way. Any ideas on how to trouble-shoot or resolve this? In the mean time I'll try updating the system using apt-get. Apt-get is still working fine.
