Package: apt
Version: 0.6.46.3
Severity: important

Using my current /etc/apt/sources.list gets the error messages 

<misc apt stuff>
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Wow, you exceeded the number of versions this APT is capable of.
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Commenting out the "edgy" line or the "security" line (or probably
various others) removes the problem.

Version: 0.7.21

The IDs are for a long time now ints instead of short and at
least on all sane architectures (all archs debian supports [0])
these 32bit ints should have enough room for the next years…

The bug was closed with the entry of 0.7.21 into the archive,
which was on the 14. April 2009 with the following changelog:

[Michael Vogt]
[...]
  * [ABI break] use int for the package IDs (thanks to Steve Cotton)
[...]

At this time the bug was still closed from the experimental upload
before - it was just reopened on 17. Dec 2009 without a reason
(or at least i can't find one).

I am therefore closing these buggroup now (again),
but feel free to reopen it if you disagree. :)


Best regards,

David Kalnischkies
