From: Paul Scott on 2 Jul 2010 20:10 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. Any ideas?

(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 happens on two machines both of which are updated frequently Thanks, Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

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.
