[Debian-Hurd] Aptitude broken?

["Javier Vasquez" <jevv.cr@gmail.com>]

Hi,

For quiet a while the ncurses interface of aptitude seems broken.  It
just freezes without attempting any command after 3 or 5 seconds...

But not only that.  Now it's not possible to "upgrade" through
aptitude.  Whether with safe-upgrade of full-upgrade I always get:

***  glibc detected  ***  aptitude:  malloc():  memory corruption:
0x08346688  ***
Abort

The work aroun for this is to "apt-get install" all packages "aptitude
*-upgrade" was going to install/upgade.  However as there's no gpm
available for the console, it's kind of hard to try writting all
packages for the apt-get thing...  Is this glibc problem known
already?  The versions of aptitude and libc0.3 are:

aptitude  -  0.4.10-1
libc0.3  -  2.7-6

Hopefully someone knows about this, :).

Thanks,
