Sorry, yes. I was at a work sprint on your previous email, and then forgot about it later!

It will probably also fail afterwards :-) FWIW, one thing about your reproducer is that you should be keeping an apt_pkg.SystemLock() right from the start until the program ends, so p-a keeps the frontend lock all the time, preventing race conditions. (unless you call apt_pkg.init_system() again in which case things gets screwed up, as it owns the lock, so you'll have to unlock, re-init and then lock again...). -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
