Control: tag -1 -moreinfo Hi Axel,
apparently it is not sufficient to just add the entry to sources.list.d. I had to update the local cache to make aptitude die. On 2023-05-13 23:29:14, Axel Beckert wrote:

No, I just have # cat .aptitude/config aptitude ""; aptitude::Keep-Unused-Pattern ""; aptitude::Delete-Unused-Pattern ""; aptitude::UI ""; aptitude::UI::Prompt-On-Exit "false"; aptitude::UI::Advance-On-Action "true"; APT ""; APT::Install-Recommends "false";
* Under which locale settings does it happen for you?
On some systems I have set LANG=C or LANG=en_US.UTF-8, but I can reproduce this using # locale LANG= LANGUAGE= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= I doubt that this is related to the locale.
If you neither use any of these settings nor use a non-english locale, is there any chance that you can install these packages (for bookworm/sid, otherwise run "find-dbgsym-packages aptitude" from the debian-goodies package) on one of the affected machines: strace aptitude-dbgsym libapt-pkg6.0-dbgsym libboost-iostreams1.74.0-dbgsym libbz2-1.0-dbgsym libc6-dbg libcap2-dbgsym libcwidget4-dbgsym libelogind0-dbgsym libgcc-s1-dbgsym libgcrypt20-dbgsym libgpg-error0-dbgsym liblz4-1-dbgsym liblzma5-dbgsym libncursesw6-dbgsym libsigc++-2.0-0v5-dbgsym libsqlite3-0-dbgsym libstdc++6-dbgsym libtinfo6-dbgsym libudev1-dbgsym libuuid1-dbgsym libxapian30-dbgsym libxxhash0-dbgsym libzstd1-dbgsym zlib1g-dbgsym
libelogind0? This breaks systemd. Regards Harri
