Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important
Hello,
I've upgraded my 486 from potato to woody lately. I have 8 Mb of ram,
which is ok for what I have to do with the computer.
Apt 0.3.x from potato ran just well on it. Apt 0.5.4, however
freezes there: "Reading packages lists: 92%". Not only apt is freezing,
but the whole computer too, and a reboot is needed. It doesn't seems to use
the swap partition at all. As a result I now have to download each and
every file manually and install them with "dpkg -i". Apt is completely
unusable in this actual state.
I wish I have kept a copy of the now unavailable apt 0.3

ER, it hasn't changed signifcantly from 0.3.x - more likely is that the
general grown of debian plus what sounds like a buggy kernel is causing
your problems.
