Package: cron-apt
Version: 0.8.2
Severity: normal
When cron-apt line exceeds 256 characters an error message is shown on
standard error.
This is because cron-apt tries to create a new file with the entire
cron-apt line as filename. When line length exceeds maximum allowed
file name length of filesystem the file cannot be created and the
error is shown (checked on ext3 filesystem).
I haven't noticed any error on apt package management, It seems to
complete all operations, but It would be great if you could clarify
possible consequences of that error (e.g. Which operations are
interrupted?).
Any workaround to avoid that error would be appreciated too (e.g.
disabling features via config file or doing some hack).
Also I suggest to use an alternative method for file naming instead of
using entire cron-apt line.
Example CRON-APT LINE:
CRON-APT LINE: /usr/bin/apt-get install net-tools netbase
netcat-traditional openssh-blacklist openssh-client openssh-server
openssl passwd patch perl perl-base perl-modules portmap postfix
procmail procps ng-updater python python-apt-common python-central
python-minimal python-reportbug python-support python2.5
python2.5-minimal -y --force-yes -o APT::Get::Show-Upgraded=true -o
DPkg::Options::=--force-confold
