  aptitude segfaults during dependency resolution

Status in aptitude package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in aptitude package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Hi.

  I just installed a new Ubuntu MATE 15.10 for my mom and I was
  selecting packages when aptitude simply crashed. I am using (for
  reasons beyond my control right now) the 32 bit version if that
  matters.

  I don't know if I can reproduce the problem or not, but I may try
  (despite the fact I do not have frequent access to this computer).

  If any further information is needed, please let me know.

  Thanks,

  Rogério Brito.
