Only two reports? I really doubt it (search for older bugs!). At least it
worked for me with a more recent kernel whereas it freezed using 2.6.28.

Whenever I use aptitude I have to wait up to 5 minutes (or longer) until it
has done it's job but it works. My system is a PIII 800MHz with 256 MB RAM and
a *very* slow solid state disk. I also tested aptitude on even slower hardware
(FreeRunner and a 400MHz Mips workstation and a 370 MHz Mips workstation). It
works well (but slow) on these so I suspect a slow CPU is not related to the
problem.
