house-cleaning the system-user query

[shirish]

Hi all,
       Today was removing all the outdated packages so did :-
sudo aptitude autoclean & then
sudo aptitude purge ~c (for packages removed but not purged)

While doing that aptitude segfaults on a certain module dunno how to
remove references to that, it doesn't have any files in that package.

Now I don't know if this question is situated on the ML as its of
gutsy hence putting it up here. If its not suited to the ML then just
post the query & all answers off-list. I dunno if this is a bug or
what?
