    Hi,

    When I try to use apt-get, as it initialises the package database, the
    following errors appear:

    Reading Package Lists... Error!
    E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
    E: Dynamic MMap ran out of room
    E: Error occured while processing libpisock8 (NewVersion1)
    E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
    E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

    I searched the debian-user list and found that others had this problem and
    fixed it by appending the line "APT::Cache-Limits 25165824;" to their
    /etc/apt/apt.conf but I did this , redownloaded the package lists (With
    apt-get update) and as it tried to initialise these new lists the same
    errors appeared.

    What's up?

    Aengus
