Package: apt Version: 2.6.1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
It doesn't matter which package you try to install, I'm using 'hello' as an example of a very simple package with no dependencies. If you try to run an `apt install` command while you are in a directory that has been deleted, you will get error messages. Example command: $ mkdir /tmp/hello; cd /tmp/hello; rmdir /tmp/hello; sudo apt install hello You get an output that includes these lines: sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory cannot fetch initial working directory: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure line 73. cannot fetch initial working directory: No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure line 159. The package installs successfully, but the messages are still not something the user should see. I discovered this when I wanted to install some package, and I grabbed the nearest terminal window I had open without realizing the current working directory in that terminal has already been deleted from a different terminal window. -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.134 ii debian-archive-keyring 2023.3 ii gpgv 2.2.40-1.1 ii libapt-pkg6.0 2.6.1 ii libc6 2.36-9+deb12u1 ii libgcc-s1 12.2.0-14 ii libgnutls30 3.7.9-2 ii libseccomp2 2.5.4-1+b3 ii libstdc++6 12.2.0-14 ii libsystemd0 252.12-1~deb12u1 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20230311 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> pn aptitude | synaptic | wajig <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.21.22 ii gnupg 2.2.40-1.1 pn powermgmt-base <none> -- no debconf information
