Bug#641756: aptitude dist-upgrade -d runs around in circles

2011-09-15 Thread Marc Haber 
Subject: aptitude dist-upgrade -d runs around in circles
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.3-3.2
Severity: normal

On one of my systems, aptitude dist-upgrade -d (which is the operation
used by cron-apt) runs around in circles. The attachment contains a
session of reproducing this under gdb with a couple of backtraces. I
hope this helps.

Greetings
Marc
