(Dynamic MMap ran out of room) Hey guys, I added Ubuntu repos to Debian and everytime I try to install a package it says something like this: Code: E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room. Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. Current value: 25165824. (man 5 apt.conf) E: Error happened while processing thunderbird-locale-si (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/es.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid-updates_main_binary-i386_Packages W: Unable to munmap Does anyone knows why this happens or how to fix it?

You should do what it says: Please increase the size of APT::Cache-Limit. The command to find out how is "man 5 apt.conf". You can read up on the "man" command with "man man". If you get an error, your manpages aren't installed and you can ... erm, yank the new repos from your sources so you can then install the manpages package. nicolasjengler 04-18-2011 11:29 AM Ok, I'll try that later and see how it goes. Thanks for the fast reply. arch0njw 04-18-2011 11:46 AM Check this thread and see if anything there helps.

"Dynamic MMap ran out of room" error when adding new apt source list
"Dynamic MMap ran out of room" error when adding new apt source list [Log in to get rid of this advertisement] G'day I've just installed Debian 3.0 I try to install xfce4 as the desktop manager but my "wajig install xfce" installed xfce3... so I added following apt source list to my source list: # Unstable deb ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free # Testing deb ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian testing main contrib non-free deb ftp.de.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free *add http after deb :-)* but this time I get following error when I do a wajig update: - - - - - - - - - - Reading Package Lists... Error! E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room E: Error occured while processing orange (NewVersion1) E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_unstable_main_binary-i386_Packages
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. update available list script returned error exit status 1. Press to continue. - - - - - - - - - - any help? cheers ps: Alternative to that, how can I install Gnome2+? everytime I try wajig install gnome or gnome core, it can't find it? cheers
Add the following line to either /etc/apt/apt.conf or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf Code: APT::Cache-Limit "8388608";
.. I'll raise that to: APT::Cache-Limit 50000000; Seriously, you can set it to how much you like but keep in mind not to let it fill /var or worse /. "apt-get clean" or "aptitude clean" now and then would clean up the /var/cache/apt/archives so you can manage with a lower limit. EDIT: Might want to wade through some of the user's manuals here: http://www.debian.org/doc/index.en.html
