I haven't seen any newer versions. Any news? On the other hand, apt and friends seem to have a bunch of RC bugs, so keeping everything frozen may be saving me some troubles anyway. > > > > 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.

I was wondering if this was the case. I'm quite certain it crashed even when I didn't do anything I thought would change the database (i.e., aptitude update, install or remove packages). > 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".

tags 458884 +pending thanks Hello, > 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?

Who else would be working on this? Was this comment supposed to go to another package? 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). Recently aptitude has become very insistent about giving it the boot, probably because of an upgrade to the apt tools.
