Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
...aptitude upgrade and dpkg -i all cached debs I tried,
fails, AFAICS on dpkg --unpack, which suddely takes all
day gnawing away on the first package until I ^c it.
_No_ error message, all I see is a 5-8 load and 128MB
buffer usage and "Terminated" if I kill it from htop.
..._no_ drivel: a45:~# dpkg -D2000 --unpack \
/var/cache/apt/archives/console-common_0.7.69_all.deb
(Reading database ... Terminated
a45:~#
...about 20 minutes before I killed the drivel bait from htop.
...also, I suspect a memory leak on either X.Org-7.1.0-10
or libc6, both was upgraded on my last aptitude session
and htop shows X eating 606MB off 384MB and 242MB swap.
...if this _is_ a libc6 or some other non-dpkg bug, beware
that a fix will still need to circumvent the dpkg --unpack
gridlock, somehow, tar, cpio etc might work.

..I have dpkg --unpack going ok now, it appears it worked ok even if it
swapped crazily, I had X eat over 600MB off 384MB ram and 1.5GB of
syrup speed swap.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.
