Bug#380509: apt: higher APT::Cache-Limit requirements for 0.6.45exp2

[jetxee <jetxee@gmail.com>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.6.45exp2
Followup-For: Bug #380509


I experienced "E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room" errors from almost all
apt utilities after upgrade from 0.6.45 to 0.6.45exp2 (it is required
for DDTP translations to work).

I noticed, that it fails on APT::Cache-Limit=15000000 and works for
me with APT::Cache-Limit=16000000. Sample output is below. 0.6.45 used
to work with APT::Cache-Limit=12500000.

$ apt-cache -o APT::Cache-Limit=15000000 depends apt
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occurred while processing ttf-sil-doulos (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList

So, the solution is to increase APT::Cache-Limit in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
