Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.9 Severity: important Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occured while processing kernel-image-2.4.19-fs196-om197 (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
Remove any one line from [1], and the above error is avoided. I think dpkg is having problems with lots of packages. I have 128MB ram with 300MB swap, so it shouldn't be having any trouble. Also, I'm seeing this on another machine with a different kernel that is entirely running testing, instead of a mixed testing/unstable as this machine is.
