    I have both stable and unstable in my sources.list, for and for about the last
    week, apt-get update keeps failing with the following error:

    Reading Package Lists... Error!
    E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
    E: Error occured while processing lyx (NewVersion1)
    E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
    E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

    If I comment out the lines for stable, or the lines for unstable, everything
    works fine.
    My first thought was that this was the result of some bad file being uploaded
    to unstable, but since the problem has persisted I have to assume this isn't
    happening everyone.

    This is the sources.list that causes the crash:

    #Stable
    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

    #Unstable
    deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
    non-free

    Thanks in advance,
    Nathan
