Hi everyone,
While I do expect people running sid to be able to deal with stuff like
this, I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it here.
After upgrading aptitude and all apt-related packages (yes, the
transition is finally over) I encountered very strange error from
aptitude on 'update' (something about GPG and 'var' not having an
extension?).
I had a quick look at the bug pages for apt and aptitude since I
expected this to be already reported. Because nothing was there I knew
it had to do with my setup so I checked that /var is not full and then I
remembered that aptitude was not restarted after the upgrade (yes, I
have it running most of the time in interactive mode).
So, don't forget to restart running programs affected by an upgrade, or
you might experience interesting failures :)
The checkrestart script in debian-goodies is a great help here ;)
Kind regards,
Andrei
