Please file a bug against aptitude.

Since there are a lot more of these bugs (the mozilla-* segfaults
come to mind), we need to collect them somewhere so ppl don't report
them over and over again, and get them fixed.

I think the BTS is the best place to collect these bugs, we would have 
used it anyway if pure64 was already in sid.


We should open at least severity: normal bugs until pure64 enters the
archive, and upgrade them to important or serious, if they are not 
already fixed by then.

There are some maintainers who will downgrade those bugs to wishlist
with the argument pure64 is not in sid, but this is not likely to happen 
often - I so far only know of #250225, one case within some 150-200
amd64 related bugs we opened the last 2 months during porting.

In my exerpience, most maintainers are really interested in amd64 and 
are eager to see their packages running on this arch too.
