A little information would be helpfull. apt on slink or apt on potato? which
version? which glibc? which kernel? did you strace it? did you configure apt
correctly? what does your sources.list say? do you have enough space on HDD?
etc pp

With the information you gave us, I can only say: "Its working fine for me,
you did something wrong." Does that help? See...

There is a "bug" package, use it to find at least the minimal information we
would need. You dont necessarily have to report a bug with it, but save the
message and send it here. 

Subject: apt: it works!
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Severity: critical



-- System Information
Debian Release: 2.2
Kernel Version: Linux aahz 2.0.36 #2 Thu Mar 25 21:15:16 CET 1999 m68k unknown

Versions of the packages apt depends on:
ii  libc6          2.1.3-7        GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  libstdc++2.10- 2.95.2-7       The GNU stdc++ library

This has nearly all the information needed. Now if you let us look at
/etc/apt/sources.list as well and maybe include a strace output, I bet you
see yourself what the problem is.

And please test the 2.2 boot-floppies, if you want potato to happen for
m68k...
