[Bug 1082198] Re: aptitude crashes when "New Categorical Browser" is selected from menu

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package aptitude - 0.7-1ubuntu1

---------------
aptitude (0.7-1ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
    - Drop aptitude-doc to Suggests.
    - 03_branding: Ubuntu branding.
    - 04_changelog: Take changelogs from changelogs.ubuntu.com.
    - 14_html2text_preferred: Switch back to html2text in favor of elinks,
      since html2text is in main and elinks isn't. Convert all files to utf-8
      encoding as it is better then ascii for iso-8859-1 (English docs).

aptitude (0.7-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo ]
  * New upstream release.
    - Changes in the versioning scheme and changelog (to follow loosely
      the Semantic Version specification)
    - Feature removal: The content-wise outdated and
      not-multiarch-compatible categorical browser has been removed. The
      Debtags browser has replaced most of its functionality already. Local
      package groups are no more available, though.  The removal discussion
      has taken place in #686646. (Closes: #686124, #686142, #686646 as
      well as LP: #1082198).
    - Changes to allow to compile with C++11 compatibilty mode (prompted by
      changes in the toolchain in Debian) (Closes: #777778)
    - Fix reported installed size change when installing/deinstalling
      packages which are bigger than 2 GiB (int type size 32 bits).  Thanks
      Benny Baumann and Jason Rhinelander for the report and info, and Sven
      Joachim for the patch.  (Closes: #759769)
    - Changes in automake files to be able to use current automake
      versions.
    - Documentation:
      - Previously missing trigger-related package states are now
        documented. (Closes: #770073, #771305, #771704)
      - Minesweeper: Fixed save/load keybindings in help.
        (Closes: #736934)
    - Translation updates:
      - Czech by Miroslav Kure (Closes: #758226)
      - Russian by Yuri Kozlov (Closes: #760812)
      - German man page translation by Mario Blättermann and
        Jens Seidel (Closes: #762340)
      - Catalan by Orestes Mas (Closes: #771618)
      - French documentation translation by Cédric Boutillier
        (Closes: #773807)
      - Italian documentation translation by Beatrice Torracca
        (Closes: #776706)
      - Dutch by Frans Spiesschaert (Closes: #778425)

  [ Axel Beckert ]
  * Apply wrap-and-sort.
  * No more install files related to the categorical browser.
  * Update Vcs-Browser header to use cgit and HTTPS.
  * Declare compliance with Debian Policy 3.9.6. (No changes needed.)
  * debian/rules:
    + Remove override_dh_builddeb: xz compression is default nowadays.
    + Remove obsolete x from [ "x$var" != "x" ] comparisons.
  * Add myself to Uploaders.
  * Cherry-pick 3593bdcb, 2a5a8b25, and 4b24b358 from upstream to cope
    with Boost 1.58 which has been uploaded to unstable during the
    libstdc++6 transition, but after the 0.7 upstream release.
  * Temporarily bump g++ dependency from 4:3.2.2-0 to 4:5.2 for the
    gcc-5/libstdc++6 transition.
  * Add build-dependency on automake.
