Hello, I just set up an x86 changeroot on my amd64 main system. I installed etch (but no additional packages besides the base system!) and immediately after chroot change the distribution to sid and ran apt-get dist-upgrade.
The upgrade ran fine (except some locale hickups/permission collissions with grsec). Another all to dist-ugprade requested an upgrade of bash-completion. This time, the screen mentioned in the first mail appeared localized (i.e. in German) but the behaviour is the same: If I try to display the changes side by side, the installation hangs until I press Ctrl-C, then the installation aborts. The ordinary diff works partially(?), i.e. for long lines I have no horizontal scroll bar (for example: ... # user commands see only users -complete -u su usermod userdel passwd chage write chfn groups slay w +complete -u su usermod userdel passwd chage write chfn groups slay w sux ... here it looks like the line is extending beyond the screen, but I'm not sure, other lines look as if they are wrapped). Btw. I did *not* modify "/etc/bash_completion" (I just set up this changeroot) so the detection of "modified files" is broken as well. Should I clone this bug for that problem?
