Package: apt Version: 0.7.14+b1 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line *** Hi! I'm using the German locale de_DE@euro. Since about yesterday, apt / aptitude fail for me with the following messages: E: Toll, Sie haben die Anzahl an Beschreibungen überschritten, die APT handhaben kann. E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_experimental_main_binary- i386_Packages E: Die Paketliste oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht geparst oder geöffnet werden. I'm not the only one who recently seems to be affected by this problem: http://tinyurl.com/56vwcx However, the suggested workaround - deleting the *Translation* files in /var/lib/apt/ - didn't work for me. Removing some Debian suits from sources.list - eg. only keeping unstable and deleting stable and testing - seems to help. Changing the locale to "C" also seems to help. (!) Are there any "real" solutions to this problem, which renders apt-get / aptitude unusuable without manual intervention. (I found the locale-dependency of this problem by pure trial-and-error...)
