Description: terminal-based package manager
aptitude is a terminal-based package manager with a number of useful
features, including: a mutt-like syntax for matching packages in a flexible
manner,
dselect-like persistence of user actions, the ability to retrieve and display
the Debian changelog of most packages, and a command-line mode similar to
that of apt-get.
aptitude is also Y2K-compliant, non-fattening, naturally cleansing, and
housebroken.

Previous and subsequent runs completed successfully.
There were updates to apt applied earlier today but no changelogs reported by
apt-listchanges.
I'm hesitant to open a bug for one segfault.
