[gutsy beta] package managers freeze when reading package list on live cd

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This is probably a duplicate of bug 144945 which was mentioned in the release announcement of the Beta CD. Please check dmesg for a kernel oops related to the unionfs to confirm whether or not his a duplicate bug report. Thanks in advance.

It seems that the culprit is indeed unionfs. The output of dmesg after running synaptic is very similar to the output of bug #144945. So it probably is a duplicate. Thanks.

I'd feel more comfortable about marking this as a duplicate of bug 144945 if I could see the actual kernel oops report. Could you please add it to your bug report? Thanks in advance.

This time, when I tried to run synaptic to save the dmesg output, it did not freeze immediately, but hung when I reloaded the list (after downloading the files). I will provide the dmesg output before and after running synaptic and aptitude. I 'll try to provide the dmesg output discussed before.

The attachment shows the dmesg output with the kernel oops. A difference I noticed in respect to bug #144945 is that there is a permission call in the call trace, as I ran synaptic without sudo.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, this bug is a duplicate of bug 144945 and is being marked as such. Feel free to submit any future bugs you may find.
