Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: grave
While trying to upgrade part of my system to lastest unstable versions
using "apt-get dselect-upgrade", I had the install failed, apparently
because of some perl upgrade issue (Can't locate Getopt::Long in
tetex-bin preinst) (although dselect said it was OK to go), called
"dpkg --pending --configure", and called "apt-get dselect-upgrade"
again. I had to use the "-f" flag because of some deps problem,
probably due to the previous failure.
I can provide full session typescript and status file if needed.
The "apt-get -f dselect-upgrade" invocation never returned. Using "-o
Debug::pkgProblemResolver=true"only made it print "Starting\nStarting
2\nDone\n" before entering the loop.
Attaching with gdb and repetedly using "ni" told that the loop occurs in pkgMinimizeUpgrade(), between offsets 64 and 196.
Here is the disassembly:
