Package: aptitude
Version: 0.4.11.11-1

Using my crowded sources.list, aptitude refuses to do anything when using
french l10n:

# aptitude install
Lecture des listes de paquets... Erreur !
E: Vous avez dépassé le nombre de descriptions que cette version d'APT est
capable de traiter.
E: Problem with MergeList
/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_.._project_experimental_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: Les listes de paquets ou le fichier d'état ne peuvent pas être ouverts,
ou sont incompréhensibles.

No problem when setting LC_ALL=C, and I could not find a parameter in
examples/configure.index that I could tune to help.  Either a pointer to
it is missing in the error message, or the parameter is missing
altogether, or that limit should be made dynamic.
