[Aptitude-devel] Bug#927750: Doubled slash

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.11-7
Severity: minor

One sees a (harmless) // in:

E: Cannot remove aptitude within aptitude
E: Problem parsing '/var/lib/aptitude//pkgstates', is it corrupt or malformed? You can try to recover from '/var/lib/aptitude//pkgstates.old'.

Reproduce by doing
dpkg --forget-old-unavail
dpkg --clear-avail
dpkg --clear-selections
(but you better keep a backup of
/var/lib/dpkg/status
before you start.)
and then aptitude full-upgrade
