Bug#588089: aptitude: SIGABRT when typing ~ in search box – RC?



[CCing the bug report, so the maintainer gets another ping about this.]

Dear members of the Release Team,
bug #588089 is a longstanding bug in aptitude, which can lead to unexpected
behaviour for many users, the "workaround fix" would be trivial: add
apt-xapian-index for the time being (that is until the fall-back code is part of
aptitude becomes part of a (stable) aptitude release) to aptitude's Depends.
(N.B. I was only able to reproduce this bug in the ncurses interface and not
when I was searching from the CLI like `aptitude search "~i yawp"`.)

Can you consider to make this a "blocker" bug for Squeeze? If you decide for
that I'd be happy – unless Daniel as the maintainer steps up first – to prepare
this trivial fix as a NMU.

Kind regards,
Kai Wasserbäch
