This may or may not be accurate, but it seems to be a current limitation in APT anyway. I guess if this is a limitation, then DynamicMMap on non-Linux should make better use of the fallback (char[] buffer instead of mmap -- no comment ;-) As a temporary fix, you can try setting APT::Cache-Fallback "true", or APT::Cache-Start much larger than it's default -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
