aptitude crashed with SIGSEGV in sigc::internal::trackable_callback_list::~trackable_callback_list()

[Sam Merrell]

Binary package hint: aptitude

Ran latest update for Lucid beta and had the laptop crash during update which made the video messed up. I booted into recovery mode and ran dpkg and fixed the broken update. Then I tried to run aptitude update when it failed with a segfault.
