[Bug 851723] Re: dpkg aborted with malloc failed (-1541383818 bytes): Cannot allocate memory message
The problem is that when you do need to install big deb files, there is not any viable alternative. I need to install a 600Mb debs in machines with only 512MB memory available. +1 to apply the patches for Lucid too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851723 Title: dpkg aborted with malloc failed (-1541383818 bytes): Cannot allocate memory message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/851723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As you noted, recent versions of dpkg (= 1.16.0~) are already fixed so marking the bug as such. I nominated it for lucid to see the opinion of release managers but I doubt it justifies an update, you don't have to install deb containing files = 2 Gb on a regular basis. ** Changed in: dpkg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851723 Title: dpkg aborted with malloc failed (-1541383818 bytes): Cannot allocate memory message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/851723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
