*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 75273 *** I have what I think is the same issue on Edgy.

I've uploaded those two files to the 'net: http://paulproteus.acm.jhu.edu/bug-report/2006-12-20/ As this *does* affect Edgy, it'd be helpful if a fix were to go in edgy- updates. -- [feisty] apt and aptitude crashing https://launchpad.net/bugs/73062 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
