apt: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
First, i'm not on the list, so please cc to me.
I saw exactly the same problem on a friends laptop, when he trtied to upgrade
to testing.
Maybe it's caused by a misconfigured apt or sth. completely different, but i
should mention that
I run a local apt-proxy version 1.3.6 from Debian stable - without any
problems, since half a year.
Now i tried to upgrading to testing. After 'updating' to the new sources list
from aptitude ('u') the package lists
seem to have been downloaded into the apt-proxy cache properly. For example:
<<
/home mi: ls -l /var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/testing/main/binary-i386/
-rw-r--r-- 1 aptproxy nogroup 2,8M 2004-04-30 21:00 Packages.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 aptproxy nogroup 81 2004-04-30 21:18 Release
But when i start aptitude and it loads the apt cache, there's this error message:
<<
Apt errors
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing tqsllib0 (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:9999_debian_dists_testing_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
There's no package list available, afterwards.
When i request a new (offline) upgrade, it says
<<
Ouch! Got SIGSEGV, dying..
Segmentation fault
The same occurs with unstable.
Updating the package list still works for stable (woody).
The package lists for testing and unstable (main) are quite large (> 2,5 MB)
compared to stable.
However i don't understand what's going on.
This box has 256 MB (mostly unused) RAM and a lot of swap. It runs a kernel
2.4.5 which never
showed any memory problem.
Any idea will be greatly appreciated !
