Control: severity -1 minor

Package: aptitude Version: 0.7.5-3 Severity: critical Justification: breaks unrelated software
This is not a critical bug by any strectch, anymore than wget or any browser might break unrelated software if you download a partition without enough space (when other packages depend on empty space in that partition to work fine). Many packages use /tmp and can cause this problem under various circumstances, even with much smaller files. Simply downloading files in aptitude for an upgrade can fill up /var/cache/apt/archives, which might mean / and /tmp if it's a single partition, and aptitude never stopped to be released because of that behaviour. There is a simple workaround for that, I suspect, which is to use the defaults and not enable options related with trace-dumps. It would be useful though if you could mention the exact config or command line options that you enabled to make this happen. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
