Hi!
I'm using the German locale [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Since about yesterday, apt / aptitude fail for me with the following
messages:
E: Toll, Sie haben die Anzahl an Beschreibungen überschritten, die APT
handhaben kann.
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_experimental_main_binary-
i386_Packages
E: Die Paketliste oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht geparst oder geöffnet
werden.
I'm not the only one who recently seems to be affected by this problem:
http://tinyurl.com/56vwcx
However, the suggested workaround - deleting the *Translation* files in
/var/lib/apt/ - didn't
work for me.
Removing some Debian suits from sources.list - eg. only keeping unstable
and deleting stable and
testing - seems to help.
Changing the locale to "C" also seems to help. (!)
Are there any "real" solutions to this problem, which renders apt-get /
aptitude unusuable without
manual intervention. (I found the locale-dependency of this problem by
pure trial-and-error...)
Greetings,
Gunter
