Hi, I just independently discovered this problem: I tried to clean up my sid chroot and purged the plethora of build dependencies I just installed for abiword. Howver, I did not purge abiword itself, thus I got a long list of errors, and finally:
dpkg: too many errors, stopping
dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:265: process_queue: Assertion `!queue.length' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
The first line is ok, but the two others should be handled more
gracefully. dpkg shouldn't core dump.
I can reproduce this in my sid chroot with
dpkg -P `dpkg -l lib*|awk '{print $2}'`
Please keep in mind that this probably *will* purge a lot of -dev
packages, so try it in a throwaway chroot.
Thanks,
Martin
