Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: important

Error description:

I have put the screenshot on my Server at:

<http://michelle.konzack.home.tamay-dogan.homelinux.net/tmp/20050313141251.jpg>

I have 256 MB of memory and a SWAP of 200 MByte.

For some minutes apt-cache has killed some processe and
I had no keyboard, no sshd and nothing else...

Had to HARDRESET my Computer.

Please note, that I have this problem on SARGE (updated
today) too. So it is not only a WOODY issue.

Hi,

So, 10 years later I will close this bugreport. The buglog suggests this
was an issue with how apt is rebuilding an invalid cache in memory if
run as user.

In the meantime stuff changed greatly, apt should actually be better at
avoid having an invalid cache after root operations (and user operations
can't invalidate a cache) and in the end I am using apt daily, even on
machines with just 256 MB RAM and no swap, so that works™ or is at least
not reproducible for me and given that there aren't any replies for
a while now I guess for nobody else either, hence closing.

If this is still reproducible, feel free to reopen of course!


Best regards

David Kalnischkies
