#332885 is fixed in aptitude 0.3.4, which is in experimental, and fixes the urgency of this bug, as it only breaks cron-apt and not the entire system. Additionally, aptitude 0.3.5 (which is not yet uploaded) will have an option to ignore trust-violation warnings, so that cron-apt can safely document -o "aptitude::Cmdline::ignore-trust-violations=yes" for aptitude, and this will work with aptitude 0.3.5. Suggested new config contents: # General apt options that will be passed to all APTCOMMAND calls. # Use "-o quiet" instead of "-q" for aptitude compatibility. # OPTIONS="-o quiet=1" # You can for example add an alternative sources.list file here. # OPTIONS="-o quiet=1 -o Dir::Etc::SourceList=/etc/apt/security.sources.list" # If you want to allow unauthenticated and untrusted packages add the # following to your options directive. # OPTIONS="-o quiet=1 -o APT::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=true -o aptitude::Cmdline::ignore-trust-violations=yes" # This will only work with aptitude >= 0.3.5 # The --assume-yes option will answer yes to almost all questions. This # is not very safe, and can fill up your /tmp file system (#316606) due # to an aptitude bug (#332885) which shows if --assume-yes is used and # untrusted packages would be installed. This aptitude bug is fixed in # aptitude 0.3.4. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
