E: Too many open files Hi Ivan, thanks for reporting the bug you experienced. It seems to me that you have been hit by bug #585448: I am therefore reassigning your report to the package where the actual bug is (libdpkg-ruby1.8) and merging it with the other bug report. [...] > I think I've seen this happen before too. Indeed, this is not a new issue. And I have (hopefully) good news for you: I prepared some modifications for apt-listbugs that *should* work around this libdpkg-ruby1.8 bug. These modifications are already on the public git repository (master branch) and should be part of the next upload (to unstable) of apt-listbugs. If you feel adventurous enough, you could clone the git repository and build a (release-candidate) version 0.1.5~rc4 of apt-listbugs (inside a sid chroot). Alternatively, I could send you an already built package, if you prefer. Obviously, if you install such a (pre-release) package, please tell me whether it actually works around the bug. Bye. P.S.: please Cc: me on replies, if you want me to read them, since I am not going to be automatically notified of replies to this bug, after it is reassigned to libdpkg-ruby1.8 ... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
