Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
Using the command line apt-get or aptitude to do pretty much anything
results in a file /var/lib/apt/extended_states being created and empty.
The update-manager (and apt-get and aptitude) then choke on a "bad file
descriptor" error for that file. If I manually remove the file (sudo rm
/var/lib/apt/extended_states) then everything is fine.
This started shortly after upgrade to feisty. Upgrade also corrupted my
pkg_cache.bin files but removing those just once fixed that issue.
Can anyone confirm?
