Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.11-1+b1
Followup-For: Bug #373846
Dear Maintainer,
I am running into this problem too. I have been trying to upgrade my Debian
Testing
system for the past three weeks to no avail. The problem is that the libstdc++6
library
The problem is that the libstdc++6 library is creating a ton of conflicts so
that typing
'e' to get to the conflict resolution dialog causes aptitude to use up all the
memory
(over 10GB) until it gets killed. As a result I have been unable to upgrade my
system
for the past three weeks, resulting in more and more packages being upgradable,
which
gets aptitude in a worse spot each time.
I am afraid that unstable and testing at the moment might still not be
ready to upgrade fully, specially if you have KDE packages installed and
you don't want to loose some of them. I imagine that the situation can
be similar if you use other desktop environments or applications high in
the stack.
I don't know how are you upgrading and if you are aware of the
following, but just in case it helps...
It usually helps to get aptitude unstuck in these situations if you
start aptitude interactively, select by hand packages to upgrade (with
+), press 'e' to enter the resolution if there are conflicts and select
one if satisfactory, or not select any, quit the resolver and and press
Control-U to undo if the first few solutions are not satisfactory.
Cheers.
