That is quite unusual. Usually aptitude should have been killed too. Did you, by chance, use screen? That would be quite good, because you could simply reattach. Please try `screen -ls` and `screen -rd` if you used screen. If not, use screen now. However, if you did not use screen you probably don't have another chance then to kill aptitude. I wouldn't worry to much about inconsistencies, since you already have them now. Just kill it and try running it again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
