Bug#409336: apt-get erratic (segfaults, unmet dependencies, hanging)
I also experience a similar problem. I did a dist-upgrade yesterday
without a problem and this morning dist-upgrade fails with unmet
dependencies. If I check whether the dependencies are met using dpkg, I
find that they are indeed met.
The original reported talked about experiencing this bug on an old
computer with 32MB memory but I'm using this on a 2.5 year-old Dell
laptop with 512MB of memory.
I use wajig but there is nothing indicating that wajig is doing anything
bad. Here's the portion of the wajig log showing the last 2
dist-upgrades I performed with it. Package-specific and system info
follows after the log...
