This file is the strace log of aptitude, to demonstrate that this problem affects all (that I've tried) package managers on my system.

Ryan if you sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin does it than work again? for atleast a little while?

Suprisingly, yes!
Thanks!

Thanks for your bugreport.

If you still (or again) can reproduce this problem, can you please test the attached fix? It should fix the problem properly.

Cheers,

Thanks for the patch Michael,
but how would I apply it?
Download the sources and stick the patch in debian/patches/, then pbuild it?
or do I apply the patch to my /usr?

Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the patch Michael,
but how would I apply debdiff into my system? (Ubuntu Edgy amd64)

thank you and
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

AFAIK you have to build it in. I think Michael's reason for attaching it is to look at it to see what he changed to make it correct so if you were so inclined you can fix it yourself. I suggest waiting for the update to be uploaded after Michael rebuilds it. Atleast that is how i remember it.

thanks

http://librarian.launchpad.net/5445248/apt_0.6.45ubuntu14.1.debdiff is OK for edgy-proposed.

Thanks Colin!

Uploaded to edgy-proposed and subscribed the ubuntu-archive team.

Accepted into edgy-updates.

7 days are over, we only need verification from QA now.

There is no apt in either edgy-{proposed,updates}. Is this still relevant? Does it need an SRU?

Seems this got superseded in bug 85207, and then removed because that bug was deemed obsolete.

Its still worthwhile to have this fix in edgy-updates, the fix is trivial, please publish it in -updates.

Thanks,
 Michael

I (re)upload apt_0.6.45ubuntu14.1 into edgy-proposed now. I have no idea why it got lost, I got a Accepted mail from the archive. I think we should still wait for a couple of days before moving it into -updates.

Cheers,
 Michael

Accepted into edgy-proposed, please test.

Edgy goes EOL in two days, and nobody tested this. I removed the -proposed package.
