Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1~lenny1
Followup-For: Bug #516128
Hi,
I got exactly the same problem. Running 'aptitude' (or e.g. 'aptitude
show') and 'apt-cache show/policy' consumes almost all memory including
RAM and swap with locales set to de_DE.UTF-8. The problem can be solved
by switching to en_GB.utf8. May be the fault of libapt, though.
Regards,
Alex
