Comment 34 for bug 134858

@LGB: it is the same problem, yes. apt 0.7.6ubuntu14 fixes the resource leak, that might or might not fix the hang as well. I was never able to reproduce the hang myself so I'm a bit in the dark here. If you have any hints what I can do, I would be grateful. It seems to happen only for some people so I would love to get feedback on anything special in your environment (shell, locale, terminal, etc).
