Bug#85419: apt fails instantly with Dynamic MMap ran out of room .. msync (14 Bad address)
Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: grave
When I invoke any apt-get or apt-cache command that involves the package
database (e.g. apt-cache search or apt-get install), the program fails
instantly with this:
~# apt-cache search apt
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing abiword (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/state/apt/lists/spidermonkey.helixcode.com_distributions_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: Unable to write mmap - msync (14 Bad address)
This started happening while I was using apt to upgrade from stable to
testing. I used dselect to finish the upgrade, but I'm unsure whether
the system is truly fully upgraded (as apt informed me about a number
of packages that were being 'kept back' when I began the process).
Kernel is 2.2.17, libc6 is 2.2.1-1
Finally, here is the output of `strace -ff apt-cache search apt`:
Thanks!
