Temporary workaround - start aptitude with -q flag that will disable the progress meter and will allow it to work fine until the issue is fixed.

As in comment 15, running with flag "q" seems to fix the issue.

I looked into a weird workaround from bug #191094 which works in this case as well.

This bug is related to the current terminal size.

If I resize the terminal to 203x24, aptitude update works. 204x24 and 212x24 crashes. 200x24, 201x24, 202x24 and 205x24 works.

Lucid Beta 1 linux 2.6.32-16 aptitude fails each and every time, crash report, dump, you name it. Thinkpad R31 with i830 intel graphics. One of the key execs which is failing has "nvidia" in it. ??

Had alpha 3 installed, updated, got aptitude failure.

Let me try the -q

Lucid Beta 1 linux 2.6.32-16 did manage to get thru aptitude with -q and safe-upgrade.

Anyone have any idea how "-q" avoids a crash?

jerrylamos: By using "-q" the progress bar doesn't show. The progress bar is probably what causes this problem, and it only crashes on certain terminal sizes (as seen in #22 and #21).

Can also confirm the problem still exists and that changing terminal size "fixed" it.

I only used the commandline interface of aptitude, i.e. the non-ncurses one. I am somewhat baffled, how can the terminal size crash a program? Never heard of that before :)

Spent some time with this, and found the cause. The error is a bit mis-leading, it's not a double-free-problem. Rather, it's a problem with the implementation failing to allocate space for null-termination when allocating buffer for an empty screen-line, therefore the connection to terminal size.

The allocation is most likely rounded up to even numbers, so for an odd number, the null-character will be allocated anyways (or the glib corruption-sensors only reacts on every odd byte).

In any case, here's a patch that solves it.

Sorry, I found my patched version was overwritten by original version after upgrade. Ignore my last post.

Great! I were about to ask you for a stacktrace or coredump, to verify it's not an unrelated bug. :)

Similar issues here: aptitude crashes sometimes. It just crashed on me as I tried to 'sudo aptitude update'. But in my case, when I rerun 'sudo aptitude update' it updates fine.

I have not been able to reproduce any aptitude crash, every time I rerun the command, it works fine. Hope this is the same issue!

Right now I have this bug repeatable, so I am not making changes to my system in case someone wants deeper debugging info, but I did trap it in GDB and here are the results:

This was introduced by the patch from bug 391035 (13_screensize.dpatch). That patch is wrong, not only because ScreenWidth should have been ScreenWidth + 1, but also because ScreenWidth is a reference to an integer that may be updated at any time by the SIGWINCH signal handler.

I just discovered that this bug is _always_ being triggered if I use GNOME Terminal 2.29.6 (2.29.6-0ubuntu5, why it's not 2.30 I have no idea) to run aptitude, yet on the same box if I run aptitude from xterm it works _unless_ I resize the xterm while aptitude is running, then I get this backtrace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I can confirm that KDE Konsole only fails when the window is resized. Xfce-terminal can fail, but it's very hard to make it fail, and it's about as hard in xterm. Whats interesting here is that GNOME terminal seems to be emitting spurious SIGWICH's as well as aptitude failing.
