Recent problem with security repository?
Good morning, at one of my boxes i run apticron. Since the last night, i am unable to use aptitude (also apt doesn't work) anymore. My sources-list contains: deb http://security.debian.org etch/updates main This happens if i do an aptitude update: Hit http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages Fetched 4B in 0s (5B/s) Reading package lists... Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occurred while processing libcairo-directfb2 (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_main_binary-amd64_Packages E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. E: Couldn't rebuild package cache The errors do also occur if i run any other apt/aptitude command. Strangely, on my other box this doesn't happen. Is something corrupt on the machine? If i manually remove the package cache and do aptitude update, the problem is reproducable. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Raise APT::Cache-Limit as the bugreport suggests , or use fewer entries in sources.list. Best regards, --Edwin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: Recent problem with security repository?
Thank you very much for your quick hint! The suggested cache size mentioned from the bug report was still not enough, but i raised it a bit and that solved the problem.
