NoStop from alt.os.linux.ubuntu pointed me at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/dynamic-mmap-ran-out-of-room-error-when-adding-new-apt-source-list-233417/
which had pretty much the same fix you supplied (only it specifies 8M
instead of 24M) I had 8M already, so I doubled it to 16M and it worked.
Pop that task off the mental stack, and I'm trying to upgrade xscreensaver.
Aptitude says:
i xscreensaver 4.21-4ubun 4.24-4ubun
i xscreensaver-data 4.21-4ubun 4.24-4ubun
i xscreensaver-gl 4.21-4ubun 4.24-4ubun
That isn't much of an upgrade it's offering. The changefile at
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/changelog.html is up to 5.05. Is Ubuntu
really that far behind, or is my apt still messed up?
