Package: apt Version: 0.7.26~exp3 Severity: normal Hi,
seems that while rewriting the patch you broke a few things: 1) The parser is to strict and gives bad errors: deb [arch=amd64,i386] http://chocos/debian sid main contrib non-free E: Malformed line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list ([http://chocos/debian] is not an assignment) It seems that there must be an explicit space after [ and before ]. 2) Missing the information for which architecture a Packages file is: Get:3 http://ftp.de.debian.org sid/main Packages [6574kB] According to the patch description the architecture should be there and I think I saw something for it when skimming the source change. But it doesn't show. 3) Segfaults if an architecture is excluded APT::Architectures={ "amd64";"i386";"armel"; }; deb [ arch=amd64,i386 ] http://chocos/debian sid main contrib non-free zsh: segmentation fault sudo apt-get update This downloads the amd64 and i386 Packages file and not the armel one as instructed. But then it segfaults. On the other hand this works: deb [ arch=amd64,i386 ] http://chocos/debian sid main contrib non-free deb-src http://chocos/debian sid main contrib non-free deb [ arch=armel ] http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main contrib non-free 4) Oldy but goody: E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 50331648. (man 5 apt.conf) I guess all the extra dummy packages for arch=all flood the mmap so again it must be increased. I'm not sure the dummy arch=all packages is the right approach for multiarch.
