[Morten Brix Pedersen <morten@wtf.dk>]

Package: apt

Severity: important

Hi,

The '-V' option causes an infinite loop when used:


/home/mbp# apt-get -V install xpacman
Reading Package Lists... Done

The following NEW packages will be installed:
   xpacman (0.11-9)
   xpacman ()
   xpacman (0.11-9)
   xpacman ()
[..snip..]

and it just goes on, and on and on...
