Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.10
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
the specific situation:
- [ already filed as #747406 against ruby]
- a ruby corruption is crashing both apt-listbugs AND how-can-I-help
- thus aptitude returns a failure and does NOT install the desired
packages
- the apt system is now completely broken: these packages can not be
removed
and no others can be installed.
- apt-get is also affected and no longer works.
the general case <--- important
- any program run by aptitude (such as apt-listbugs or how-can-I-help)
that
crashes will break the apt system.
- this is a critical bug: any type of failure in sub-programs should have
NO
effect on aptitude.
The code should be changed so that any problem in sub-programs run by aptitude
will have NO effect on aptitude (or apt-get). Otherwise the apt system is at
risk from any such program
The bug I have filed above is related to a collection of recent (the week up to
today
2014-05-08) bugs in ruby.
See that bug #747406 for more detail.
HOWEVER, the problem is the general case: corruptions such as this ruby problem
should
have NO effect on aptitude.
