Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.1-1 Severity: important aptitude will use hundreds of megabytes of memory in the process of resolving dependencies.
I noticed this problem recently when I pressed "u" to update my files, then "U" to upgrade everything. There were some broken packages, which aptitude attempted to resolve. I killed it when my system started hitting swap and became very sluggish. I marked this bug as important because aptitude (in its ncurses mode) will automatically try to resolve conflicts, and, therefore, automatically take up all available memory. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-6-3 0.6.43.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-1+b1 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.5-1.1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.16-3 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-1+b1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: pn aptitude-doc-en | aptitude-do <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
