update manager fails to update (E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room)

[pradudeepu]

A unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.

E:Dynamic MMap ran out of room, E:Error occurred while processing libavahi-client3 (NewFileVer1), E:Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

This is probably caused by too many sources (in /etc/apt/sources.list).

Try adding the following into /etc/apt/apt.conf, which increases the size of the MMap (to 64MB):
APT::Cache-Limit "64000000";

update-manager should probably adjust this manually, to prevent this from happening?
It seems that the error is caused by adding additional sources during the upgrade process.

Thanks man
it solved the problem

Thanks for your bugreport.

Could you please attach your /etc/apt/sources.list?

Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!.

[Daniel Hahler (blueyed)]

I could not reproduce it with my rather huge sources.list now, but have manually bumped the APT::Cache-Limit setting because of this before.

Anyway, it seems to be a duplicate of bug 24626 - I'm marking it as such.
