Bug#240050: repeat info
Yes it is a sensible guess that it was what I did that
induced the error.
That is why I attached a section of the root bash history
log, and the current sources list file.
Although I haven't run this command recently, I assume it
was working before the 24th.
I updated my list of package servers, as I was getting lots
of 404 errors
At this point it said something to the effect of
"not enuf room for the MMap"
Via googling, I discover reducing the number of package
servers solves this, so I did.
I also deleted the package lists in
/var/lib/apt/lists and /var/lib/apt/lists/partial
to ensure it was coherent.
It re-downloaded all the packages, and then segfaulted
(sorry no more specific information)
Rerun, reboot, then rerun, all generate the result
(not that I expected the reboot to make any difference, but I
thought I'd check)
If I tell it to
`apt-get clean` or `apt-get check`
it also segfaults
I have deleted all the buffers I am aware of
/var/cache/apt/*.bin and /var/cache/apt/partial/*
So this shouldn't be corrupt data
**Are there any other potentionaly corrupt buffers I should delete?**
**Is there an extra verbous-ness switch to provide more internal
state information?**
The sources list file /shouldn't/ induce any errors, as it
passes your error checking, and is very simple. However
it is the only file I manually editted.

This is excessively long winded, but you don't come across
as fond of ambiguity (sp?).
If this was not the information you where after, please be
more specific.
