Package: ia32-apt-get
Version: 18
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
That package was pulled in automatically by libs-i386 and it breaks
nearly everything:
- aptitude UI with upgrading does not work, redownloads everything again
and again
- changing /etc/apt/sources.list is not carried over to whereever that
package saves it dummy hosed sources.list (in /e/apt/{386,amd64})
- calling apt-get update from the command line (recommended in another
bug report) finishes in a core dump
/usr/bin/apt-get: line 46: 30757 Segmentation fault apt-get.real
--no-list-cleanup --no-download update
- telling the user *ONLY* in the NEWS file that we have to pin i386
packages otherwise they instead of the native ones will be installed
is *definitely* not enough. I have NOT decided to include i386 package
repositories in my sources.list, if ia32-apt-get adds that automatically
it has to make sure that this does not happen.
Is this a joke package? It is not April fool's day!
If you prefer I will open grave bugs for each of the above.
