Bug#33796: apt: dist-upgrade fails
Package: apt
Version: 0.1.9
Doing apt-get dist-upgrade:
[...]
Preparing to replace libdb2 2.3.16-7 (using libdb2_2.4.14-1.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libdb2 ...
Preparing to replace libg++2.8 2.90.29-0.6 (using libg++2.8_2.90.29-2.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libg++2.8 ...
Selecting previously deselected package libjpeg62.
E: Sub-process returned an error code
You can find a script log in http://www.ra.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/~rainer/Download/hamm2slink
Michael Stone <mstone@cs.loyola.edu> reported the same problem after unpacking strace, so I guess the problem is really in apt.
Both reports, Michael's and mine are reported to debian-testing.
