Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: important Hello,
I've upgraded my 486 from potato to woody lately. I have 8 Mb of ram, which is ok for what I have to do with the computer. Apt 0.3.x from potato ran just well on it. Apt 0.5.4, however freezes there: "Reading packages lists: 92%". Not only apt is freezing, but the whole computer too, and a reboot is needed. It doesn't seems to use the swap partition at all. As a result I now have to download each and every file manually and install them with "dpkg -i". Apt is completely unusable in this actual state. I wish I have kept a copy of the now unavailable apt 0.3 -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux linux486 2.2.21 #1 Thu Aug 1 18:40:29 EDT 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=fr_CA, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-7 The GNU stdc++ library
