# cd /etc/apt/
[root@localhost apt]# git checkout sisy-internet

But this means that apt is working very close to its limits: it can't manage the lists of approx. THREE repositories as big as Sisyphus (I had a CD, a local copy of Sisyphus, and Sisyphus).
Comment 5 Michael Shigorin 2009-12-14 20:44:50 MSK
Is it a bug #16900 dup?

> Is it a bug #16900 dup?

Nope, because it's fixed _only_ for Sisyphus and p6/t6, not for p5/5.1.

I'm reproduced it for p5.

2cas: can you apply this patch, please?
