[Aptitude-devel] Bug#969363: aptitude: goes to 100%CPU and ram usage skyrocketting when handling dependencies

[ydirson at free.fr]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-2

Starting from a task-desktop-lxde setup, and trying to remove xserver-xorg-video-all and
reselecting packages I don't want to go away seems to cause issues to aptitude.

I'm keeping an aptitude bundle for initial state, available on request (not sure it makes
sense to attach 500MB here).

>From there:

- select xserver-xorg-video-all for removal, then xserver-xorg-video-amdgpu for install
- solve conflicts (marks task-desktop-lxde task-desktop for removal)
- in task-lxde-desktop deps select lxde

Now aptitude quickly reaches 100%CPU and we can watch its memory usage go up.
