Package: apt Version: 0.3.12 I managed to get things into a rather strange state; I think it was because I was using packages in 'unstable' from two different sources of two different ages, and there was some kind of circular version dependency.
Dpkg (1.4.1.8), when asked to do anything, exited with 'assertion failed' (um, there was more to this error message, but I have to confess that I didn't save it at the time and it only occurred to me to report the bug later; it was something that suggested it had recursed somewhere too many times). Apt, on the other hand, sat consuming CPU after Building Dependency Tree... indefinitely. I would suggest it needs to perform the same sanity checks as dpkg. -- David Damerell, Computer Officer, Department of Chemistry, Cambridge Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
