Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: important
-- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux deejai3 2.4.24 #11 SMP Wed Jan 7 12:48:46 CET 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.ISO8859-15, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO8859-15 Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-11.5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-11woody1 The GNU stdc++ library Problem description: When some lines (typically, comments) in /etc/apt/sources.list have more than 299 columns, then apt-get will go into an endless loop (on "apt-get update" and "apt-get install" etc. alike), apparently within a C++ class trying to read the sources.list lines. Reducing the longest line to 299 columns helps immediately.
