Debian sid:

There are several vbox packages available for update.  When I choose
any one of those to update in aptitude I get what seems to be an
unending loop while aptitude attempts to resolve the dependencies.

Please post the output of 'aptitude full-upgrade'

Several messages go by and are erased and then it never returns.
(as if is is in a loop)

I redirected the output to a file and the file contains:

Reading package lists...
Building dependency tree...
Reading state information...
Reading extended state information...
Initializing package states...
Reading task descriptions...

after terminating with Ctrl-C

This doesn't help :( Try running aptitude from command line in some
xterm with a big enough scroll buffer.

I did run it in an xterm.  There is no more output.

I'm still guessing it's in a loop trying to find a solution to a dependency problem. I have seen other dependency situations where there is a definite pause while a solution is calculated. Neither of my machines is super fast.

Thanks,

Paul
