Re: [Grml] error when using aptitude for upgrade

* Andreas Kalex Andreas.Kalex@gmx.de [20070326 22:15]:

since 2 days I get an error when upgrading packages via aptitude

Reading package fields... Done Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports... 0%

Error retrieving bug reports Retry downloading bug information?[Y/n]?

Answering yes will not work. What/Where is the problem?

The interface (IIRC the soap one) to bugs.debian.org is down currently.

Workaround?

Don't want to use apt-listbugs at all? (I personally love it.)

# apt-get --purge remove apt-listbugs
