Package: apt Version: 0.8.15.9 Severity: minor Apt crashed when "Dynamic MMap ran out of room". The error message suggested increasing the Cache-Limit in "apt.conf", and also referred to the man page for "apt-conf". Now, that man page exists, but not the file itself.
The limit turned out to be in the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80aptcachelimit There is a trend towards splitting config files into small machine-manipulatable files. That may be useful, but please update the documentation (and error messages) when doing so. There is no "apt.conf". The error message could mention the correct file. The man page ought to be for "apt.conf.d" which exists, not for the historical but nonexistent "apt.conf". Or for both, if "apt.conf" will work if it exists. -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (800, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2010.08.28 ii gnupg 1.4.11-3 ii libc6 2.13-24 ii libgcc1 1:4.6.2-11 ii libstdc++6 4.6.2-11 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 apt recommends no packages.
