I am not sure about the debian package, but you should be able to run 
something like: gdb /usr/bin/aide.real
and then inside gdb: run --check
When the seg fault occurs, type: bt

It looks like your database at /var/lib/aide/aide.db is corrupted. It 
should be a gzipped file which starts out like this:

@@begin_db
# This file was generated by Aide, version 0.11
# Time of generation was 2006-03-05 01:15:26
@@db_spec

Still, aide should not seg fault when it encounters a corrupted aide.db. 
Please send the result from the gdb back trace.

Sincerely,
