Bug#935146: appstream: unable to open cache
appstream (0.12.8-1.1) unstable; urgency=medium . * Non-maintainer upload. = Merged Git patch 84e11c35f9ceb1b92df83e4b9707498f5267dcd3.patch Upgraded the following packages to the above version: appstream apt-config-icons libappstream4 Ran the following command line: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade No error reported. I guess the patch works. Thanks! Please note that this host's 1 GB RAM is generous for the Geode platform. More typically a Geode host comes with 128 MB of soldered-on RAM. The mmap amount ought to keep this in mind on i386. Debian's linux-image-686 (the kernel for legacy non-PAE i386 hosts) happens to be configured for Geode LX platforms (Kconfig: CONFIG_MGEODE_LX=y).

Do you have some time to test a patch for me? If you can, fetch https://github.com/ximion/appstream/commit/a049482267f3caf53c5465fe6feb8d7c6a12206b.patch and apply it to the "appstream" package sources (add to debian/patches folder and register it in debian/series), then rebuild the package and install the patches copy of the libappstream4 library and appstream package. Does that solve your problem? If so, I would just roll out that patch with the next update. Cheers, Matthias -- I welcome VSRE emails. See http://vsre.info/

Geode has no PAE. Maximum memory on these as per memory controller is 1GB which is what it has. Part of this is used by the GPU. $ free totalusedfree shared buff/cache available Mem: 896608 56956 6774602968 162192 706860 Swap: 1646624 0 1646624 ti 20. elok. 2019 klo 11.38 Matthias Klumpp (matth...@tenstral.net) kirjoitti: > > Am Di., 20.

On closer look, only up to 512MB are mapped. How much memory does your system have? Is PAE enabled for your CPU? This issue is fairly strange, I will try to reproduce it in a VM later.
