Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Hello,
I've recently found a bug in apt tool. Apt hangs while reading
sources.lst file containing lines with long comments (more > 300
chars), like:
#longlonglonglonglonglong .... long (300 chars)
Apt-get hungs, strace apt-get update gives:
...
open("/etc/apt/sources.list", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1459, ...}) = 0
old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS,
-1, 0) = 0x40014000
read(4, "#longlonglonglonlonglonglonglonl"..., 4096) = 1459
Debian 3.0/Woody, recent updates.=20
Home-made kernel form vanilla sources (plus patch-o-matic-ng).
