(Get the code!)
All right, I am completely frustrated. First at my inability to fix the second memory leak and second by the total lack of developer input on this issue.
My current working thoery is that commit() function in the Cache class of the python-apt library runs into an infinite loop if an archive install returns a result of "Incomplete". My inability to replicate this error, and lack of familiarity with the python-apt library have thwarted my attempts to fix the problem.
For now, I am just going to post the third revision of my patch, which is essentially a regression. The patch no longer alters the types of Exceptions caught by the programs try/catch statements as this was mainly an attempt at getting more information. This revision just has the single memory leak fix.
I am incredibly displeased and disgusted by this entire situation.
