Bug#42625: apt-get not functional in ytalk.
Package: apt
Version: 0.1.9
I tried to demonstrate debian's ease of maintenance to my
brother, so I invoked apt-get while talking to him. It did
not work ;-(
Reproduction of the bug is simple and stable:
Become root, then ytalk -x to some other user.
>From within ytalk issue <Esc>-s to open a shell (gets displayed
to your party as well), and then enter, e.g.
localhost:/tmp# apt-get update
Get ftp://ftp.at.debian.org slink/non-US Packages
Get ftp://ftp.debian.org slink/contrib Packages
Get ftp://ftp.debian.org slink/main Packages
Get ftp://ftp.debian.org slink/non-free Packages
83% [Packages `Logging in' 0] [Packages `Disconnecting' 0/70.3k 0%]Waited but no
thing was there
Waited but nothing was there
Waited but nothing was there

...
and this goes on for ever...
The same occurs if I issue apt-get install package.
You have to do a clean update from a normal terminal afterwards to fix
the package database.
Here is some info of my system:

I am using slink (as can be seen from my sources.list).
