Package: aptitude Severity: serious Justification: No more than one operation, looses information, blocks the console, regression Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Hello, I just upgraded this system yesterday to Debian Lenny from Debian Etch and since the upgrade I have seen that aptitude's TUI interface blocks after any set of operations that is done with dpkg. When the operation finishes the TUI is unusable and you need to ctrl+C the interface to get the prompt. Probably because of this, the recommended packages which were proposed and rejected (by the user) for installation were not remembered - during the upgrade I have seen that the TUI was blocking during the "Writing extended attributes phase - and at the next aptitude run the recommended and rejected packages were again proposed for installation. Initially I thought this was someway related to the fact that I was in the upgrade phase and didn't restart yet, but after the upgrade was complete and I already rebooted more than once the problem persisted. I also have a couple of other systems running lenny, but haven't seen the same behaviour there. Still those are amd64, not i386 and those were either upgraded really early during the development cycle of lenny - 6 months - or were cleanly installed directly to lenny, so maybe that information helps, too. I have the get-selections before the upgrade and I have a part of the upgrade typescript if that helps, or I can produce a new typescript with the problem as it is now. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
