well, it seems to me that this is not that important to spent time on an alternative to tasksel at all. I think the tasksel maintainer can fix any issue if it is brought to his attention, any takers? > > > Deleting "/var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin" and running > > > "apt-get update" before running "apt-get install foo" works well for > > > people with the hardware problem with apt. > > > > No progress in getting more info about it? > > > The only other info I have is that running apt-get update without removing > /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin does not work, the system > locks. Someone woh can reproduce this must provide more information, otherwise it can't be fixed. I can't reproduce this on any machine I have ever installed the Hurd on. I would also be careful with attributions like "hardware problem", this is not at all clear to me from what we know so far (eg we know nothing). Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
