Re: dpkg: consumes all available RAM and crashes, during configure phase

2014-10-21 Thread Christian Hofstaedtler
I too see dpkg hang in the configure phase and consuming all the
memory it can get.

strace didn't yield anything useful apart from repeated brk() calls.

In these situations, something like gdb would probably more helpful than
strace. (At least to learn in which area it's currently spinning, which
might give you some clue.)

Ah yes, didn't think of that. Sorry.

Unfortunately, with an empty set of packages to configure I can no
longer reproduce this. Will try to think of gdb on the upgrade.

Actually the most useful thing to use in such cases is something like
-D7, and attach that. you might want to stop it at some point to
avoid filling the disk though.

You might want to CC the German translators list on such issues, doing 
so with this message.
