Subject: apt: Interruption of apt installation makes apt unusable
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.2

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: important
When I upgrade my slink machine to potato (using dselect with apt method),
I have to upgrade many packages including apt, libstdc and libc6. What
happened is that libc6 suggested me to restart some network service, and I
allowed it, but immediately I found that if that is allowed, my terminal
would get lost (I'm on a ssh link). I quickly break apt, but after that
apt break.
I discovered that at that time, apt is unpacked, but libstdc++ is not.
Apt need libstdc++ to work, but while apt is among the first to get unpacked
(it begins with a letter A), libstdc++ is unpacked much much later: in fact,
even after libc is configured. Once apt is interrupted, it is no longer
usable until libstdc++ is manually installed.
Will predepend helps here? I think it would be reasonable for apt to
predepend the specific version of libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 needed. Of course
that would require that libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 to be able to co-exist with
libstdc++2.9, or the same problem would occur the other way round. I don't
know whether this is the case, though.
Also, is it possible to make sure that the two package get unpacked and
configured as close to each other as possible?

The latest APT compiles depend on the newest libstdc++ and a slink point
release has been available for some time with a 0.3 version of APT that
does not have problems with the new glibc.
