Package: menu Version: 2.1.41 Severity: important
If synaptic or upgrade-manger are called via su-to-root, the application fails with the following message after checking for new packages: $ su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/synaptic An error occurred E: Na so was, Sie haben die Anzahl an Beschreibungen überschritten, mit denen APT umgehen kann. E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.tu-bs.de_debian_dists_testing_main_i18n_Translation-de E: Die Liste der Paketquellen oder der Status-Datei konnte nicht geöffnet werden. E: _cache->open() failed, please report. By contrast, if the same application is called from a real root account, or via sudo, everything is fine. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages menu depends on: ii libc6 2.9-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-3 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 menu recommends no packages.
