Public bug reported:
When doing a aptitude dist-upgrade from gutsy to hardy (2008-03-01) I
get this error:
<snip>
Need to get 0B/41.2MB of archives. After unpacking 144MB will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

Caused by /tmp being mounted as noexec... removing that solves the
problem. Mounting /tmp as noexec is often reported as good security
measure, and was using it as such. No idea how much is now not
configured, maybe even some important things. The problem is that the
packages for which the configure fail do not fail in itself, possibly
making some upgrade packages not working?
