> Was this comment supposed to go to another package? Yes, the comment was meant for libqt4-dev and reposted there (Cmp. #458558). Since that bug won't be fixed I had to work around the bug. Only two days ago I have uploaded a new version of packagesearch containing a fix to my sponsor, who I hope will upload it to the archive soon. > packagesearch has been crashing at the drop of a hat for me for months > (basically, whenever I leave it up for awhile and then come back to it). This is known, and unfortunately not easy to fix. The problem is, that the backend library (libept-dev) switched from working on a copy of the apt-database to working on the database itself. However, it does not handle it gracefully, if the package database changes (i.e. it causes a crash). So packagesearch crashes whenever you do something after the database has changed. A bug is open against libept-dev (#442841) and I am periodically nagging Enrico to fix this bug - which would allow for packagesearch to become stable again. > Recently aptitude has become very insistent about giving it the boot, > probably because of an upgrade to the apt tools. This should be solved with the new upload. Best regards and thanks for sticking with packagesearch Benjamin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
