If I start aptitude in interactive mode, press "U", then "e" and then "." repeatedly to review aptitude's proposals, then I get a crash at the same point ("Ouch! Got SIGABRT, dying.. Aborted"). Let me know what I can do. I assume you have a patch for me to try. Also, since it is unlikely that I ever get a better opportunity to say this: Thank you so much for aptitude! -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
