Bug#407078: apt: dynamic mmap ran out of room - on Etch with small sources.list
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.4
Severity: important
I've run into this error for years. Come on guys, is it really that
complicated? And why are you downgrading the other reports on this bug
to wishlist? This is a serious bug that affects many users. Using the
basic packaging functionality of Debian should not require looking up
obscure workarounds on the web. It makes the whole distribution look
unprofessional (in the bad sense of that word).
