I have a cron job that runs every morning that includes:
apt-get -q update && apt-get -q -s dist-upgrade
Today it produced the following error message:
Fetched 6713kB in 28s (238kB/s)
Reading Package Lists...
E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
E: Error occured while processing aspell (NewVersion1)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.
My last upgrade was January 15, and this cron job ran
successfully on the 16th and 17th, so I doubt if it is a bug in a newly
upgraded package.
/var/lib/dpkg/status looks normal, and has the following
permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 718493 Jan 18 10:36 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I don't know if "Dynamic MMap ran out of room" refers to memory,
but I have plenty available:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1030220 876292 153928 0 128236 488572
-/+ buffers/cache: 259484 770736
Swap: 2096624 0 2096624
What is the probable cause of this failure?
Regards
Bob
