I reported that problem several times, and finaly gave up on the
hurd because of this. For me apt doesn't work a single time,
dselect with dpkg-ftp crashes as well and if I turn on the
machine and go for a cup of coffee it hangs by the time I come
back (this really happened).
Should anybody be interested in the circumstances of the
crashes, tell me what you want to know and how to get that info
(ie commands to run), and I'll give it another try. Since I
don't know any C I can't do anything about it myself.
ciao, 2ri
