Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
Well, I have quite a list of package repositories listed in my sources.list. If I add one more, the following error message appears:
-------
E: Wow, you exceeded the number of descriptions this APT is capable of.
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/
E: Die Paketliste oder die Statusdatei konnte nicht geparst oder geöffnet werden.
-------
The last line could be translated as "The package list or the status file couldn't be parsed or opened."
After that, I can't use synaptic anymore to remove the repository. I have to do it manually...
System info:
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
