Alas, there has been an upload of apt to testing-security which broke things, because that version of apt provides libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6-4.6 instead. I've informed the testing security team about the situation, CC'ing bug #448249 which is responsible for this. Everyone suffering from this bug should downgrade apt to 0.7.20.2 or, even better, 0.7.20.2+lenny1 from stable-security. Then aptitude, synaptic and other reverse dependencies of libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6 can be reinstalled. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
