Package: apt Version: 0.5.4
Severity: critical
-- System Information
Debian Release: testing/unstable
Kernel Version: Linux kneebone 2.4.13 #5 Fri Nov 16 18:49:53 EST 2001 i686
unknown
Versions of the packages apt depends on:
ii libc6 2.2.4-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-0.01100 The GNU stdc++ library
I get this error on almost all apt-get operations:
# apt-get check
Reading Package Lists... Error!
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing dvi2ps (NewFileVer1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
I surmise that this error is related to a change to libdb3 due to a recent
upgrade.
I note that one can't build apt in a system with libdb3-dev installed, due to
conflict.
This error seriously compromises one's system :)
Thanks,
Colin.

It isn't. That error means you exceeded the pre-allocated 6 meg storage
structure - ie you have more packages than is reasonable to imagine (or
you are using a really old APT that had a much smaller size, upgrade)..
Fortunately it's just a configuration option:
Cache-Limit
APT uses a fixed size memory mapped cache file to
store the 'available' information. This sets the
size of that cache.
