[Aptitude-devel] Bug#665794: aptitude: safe-upgrade dies on out of memory

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.5-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I haven't upgraded for a few months and tried a safe-upgrade now:

$ sudo aptitude safe-upgrade

  what():  std::bad_alloc

So, all I could do was revert to apt-get...
