Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude
I did
$ aptitude why-not enlightenment
and it segfaulted
Strace attached (bzip2'ed to speed up/downloading)
Intrepid
$ aptitude --version
aptitude 0.4.11.3 compiled at Sep 2 2008 12:39:43
Compiler: g++ 4.3.2
Compiled against:
apt version 4.6.0
NCurses version 5.6
libsigc++ version: 2.0.18
Ept support enabled.
Current library versions:
NCurses version: ncurses 5.6.20071124
cwidget version: 0.5.12
Apt version: 4.6.0
What it should have done:
Informed me that "enlightenment" is not actually a package, but that several things which are packages refer to it by that name.
This does not affect other packages or "aptitude why enlightenment", although the latter does not indicate that e is not a package.
I have e16 installed via apt and e17 installed via the script mentioned in the forums.
