Let me begin by saying that a few weeks ago I upgraded from gutsy
to hardy beta, using "do-release-upgrade". I had the "ppa2" apt version
installed and experienced no problems.
Yesterday I did a little testing by creating a Vmware Server virtual machine,
and installed gutsy from the server .iso image. Installed updates but
not the proposed apt.
The apt, dpkg, kernel versions are:
apt 0.7.6ubuntu14
apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14
dpkg 1.14.5ubuntu16
linux-image-2.6.22-14-server 2.6.22-14.52
linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic 2.6.22-14.52
Using the -server kernel, the 2vcard test ran without hanging until
I stopped it after 3.5 hours and 2073 interations.
However, using the -generic kernel, the 2vcard test caused the hang
after 75 minutes and 612 iterations. Is it possible that the folks
who don't see this error are running the -server kernel?
Then I installed the apt from gutsy-proposed:
apt 0.7.6ubuntu14.1
apt-utils 0.7.6ubuntu14.1
Again using the -generic kernel, the 2vcard ran without hanging for over
14.5 hours and 7484 iterations before I stopped it.
Then I ran a do-release-upgrade and upgraded to hardy RC without any
problem.
