Package: dselect Version: 1.14.25 Severity: important
Just upgraded my sever to Debian 5.0 as of Sunday 22 Feb 2009. No problem with upgrade. But after upgrade I have problem with dselect. As many times before I update check by dselect option 1-3 1. [U]pdate 2. [S]elect 3. [I]nstall but when I select 3 dselect dumps with: Merging available information Replacing available packages info, using /var/cache/apt/available. Information about 23078 package(s) was updated. dselect: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory I can restart dselect and just select option 3, and all work fine. In this case no updates to install. Just before I select option 3 I see the following info in top PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 17834 root 20 0 137m 135m 952 S 0.0 54.2 0:06.34 dselect Have been using Debian Stable on this box since May 2002 without change in hardware, never seen this problem before with dselect. Installation based on minimal package selection.
