ah cool -- so now we will have some reflection of those fixes in this
report ;)
I have installed apt, libapt-{inst1.5,pkg4.12} 0.9.7.1 from sid.
Unfortunately apt-cache update still failed with the Dynamic MMap
ran out of room...
I just now realized that inside sid chroot on the same VM (installed for
testing other issues) I haven't experienced this problem, but it didn't
download any translations. Adding APT::Acquire::Languages "en" and
removing all previously downloaded Translation files helped in the main
system also helped to overcome the problem. but now not sure sure how
to switch to previous state of things that it tries to fetch all of the
translations, removing apt.conf with ::Languages or setting them to
obvious magical "all" doesn't help ;-) I guess I (or someone
else) would need to RTFM or reinstall VM to get to the same
problem.
Cheers!
