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.
