Hi Grzegorz,<br>

Package: aptitude<br>
Version: 0.6.3-3.2<br>
Severity: important<br>
<br>
I have just tried to use aptitude safe-upgrade to upgrade my laptop. It started<br>
to resolve dependencies so I left the system running for 10h. However after<br>
this time it still didn't finish. The closed package count was 300000, the open<br>
ones over 270000. I don't know if it was doing normal processing (just slow) or<br>
if it hang -- either way it is completely unusable.<br>

<br>
Is this a recurrent problem, or did you only see it around the time when<br>
this was reported?<br>
<br>
At the time you were using 3 Debian releases:<br>

<br>
Do you still use this now? If it stopped happening, did it have any<br>
correlation with the number of releases used?<br>
<br>
<br>
Can provide any other useful information that you can think of, any<br>
change of the situation since then?<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
