I installed a UML Etch dist as described here: http://www.punknix.com/?q=virtualization_uml aptitude segfaults on everything I've tried except update. Here is example output. ws-uml:~# aptitude install python Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database... Done Segmentation fault Any idea what might cause aptitude to segfault. BTW, apt-get works fine. Randall |

I would try to clear the cache of aptitude and see if that helps. You might want to exit the uml and check the files consistency. If ext3 for example: e2fsck -f root_fs Also use the latest version of aptitude for Lenny but this is probably the case already. Last, you can try to remove aptitude and then reinstall it. apt-get --purge remove aptitude apt-get install aptitude Try and let us know if it works Regards, Benedict |
