Hi Daniel, hi list, should I file a bug against aptitude ? (I have not checked all the 115 normal bugs against aptitude...) IMHO this is serious, as it installs a non-working kernel (a amd64-kernel on i386), which renders the system unusable.
Is there a aptitude mailing-list or such ? Or only debian-devel or rather debian-dpkg ?
