No modifications on aptitude / apt configs. Here is what I do :
aptitude clean && aptitude update This work fine and update package lists corectly. But now, if I do either 'aptitude safe-upgrade -d -y' or 'aptitude safe- upgrade -d', here is what I get : root@precise:~# LANG="C" aptitude safe-upgrade -d The following packages will be upgraded: dpkg insserv iproute login passwd update-notifier-common The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: libatm1 6 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 3574 kB of archives. After unpacking 1024 B will be used. Do you want to continue?

If I do 'aptitude safe-upgrade -y', then aptitude downloads corectly it's packages then install them without problems. It seems that this is ONLY the '-d' option which causes problems. The problem is the same eitherin my native language (fr_FR.UTF8) or by forcing english language (LANG="C"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/975793 Title: 'aptitude safe-upgrade -d -y' enters infinite loop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptitude/+bug/975793/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
