Bug Description
Binary package hint: aptitude
The Machine is a Virtual machine created in VirtualBox 3.0.8
Host is a new Karmic amd64 install.
Guest is a brand new karmic netinstall via mini.iso
I don't know if the above is relevant, but I suppose so.
When I start aptitude at the console it displays the normal panel, but any action, including simply hitting down-arrow crashes the program with the message:
Uncaught exception: Unable to read from stdin: Success
I saw nothing relevant on syslog.
I assume this is a bad interaction with the console since aptitude works flawlessly through ssh.
I am available for any further info.
The problem is easily repeatable on this VM.

One more data point: Nvidia- ION_chipset/ 4GB_RAM) and I have the same behavior at the console.
This bug seems related to the release, not the virtualization.
I installed Karmic-rc-server (no X) on a brand new Zotac ION motherboard (Atom-330/
I also strongly doubt this is an aptitude problem (even though it is very easy to reproduce using aptitude) because I see strange behavior at the console (missing echo of typed commands, missing CR-LF when hitting return (prompts one following the other instead of one on top of the other).
This looks real bad and should be fixed before release.
I am available to help debugging.
