I also experienced this problem today. Originally I had Ubuntu 6.06 LTS on this laptop, upgraded to Edgy, then kubuntu-desktop added, then upgraded to Feisty recently.
After removing a few unnecessary applications (I honestly can't remember which at the moment sorry, mostly Gnome related though I think) via Adept, the following came up every time I ran apt-get: Reading package lists...

Ouch... I removed the /var/lib/apt/extended_states file as suggested above, and the problem seems to have gone away. I agree this is something that needs resolving though, if I had been a newbie just following on screen instructions I'd have nuked half my system! -- apt wants to auto-remove all my system!!! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
