Heads up: restart aptitude after this upgrade



Hi everyone,

While I do expect people running sid to be able to deal with stuff like 
this, I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it here.

After upgrading aptitude and all apt-related packages (yes, the 
transition is finally over) I encountered very strange error from 
aptitude on 'update' (something about GPG and 'var' not having an 
extension?).

I had a quick look at the bug pages for apt and aptitude since I 
expected this to be already reported. Because nothing was there I knew 
it had to do with my setup so I checked that /var is not full and then I 
remembered that aptitude was not restarted after the upgrade (yes, I 
have it running most of the time in interactive mode).

So, don't forget to restart running programs affected by an upgrade, or 
you might experience interesting failures :)

The checkrestart script in debian-goodies is a great help here ;)

Kind regards,
Andrei
