Unfortunately, the list command is not sufficient for my needs. My query command filters the bugs to be considered and only shows the ones that worry the user, if still present and RC. I'll try to explain with a live example: $ /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs -y -q list apt/0.7.14 critical bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.14) <pending> #495954 - slapd: Upgrade to Lenny failed: libldap_r-2.3.so.0 missing #433091 - ignores expiry of archive keys grave bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.14) <pending> #474947 - MMap, again; and won't be denied this time #465241 - bibtex2html has been installed with an unmet dependency Summary: apt(4 bugs) This is how the list command currently works. My modified version does not change the behavior of the list command: $ test/apt-listbugs -y -q list apt/0.7.14 critical bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.14) <pending> #495954 - slapd: Upgrade to Lenny failed: libldap_r-2.3.so.0 missing #433091 - ignores expiry of archive keys grave bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.14) <pending> #474947 - MMap, again; and won't be denied this time #465241 - bibtex2html has been installed with an unmet dependency Summary: apt(4 bugs) What I did in my modified version is implementing a different command, namely the query command, which behaves differently. $ test/apt-listbugs -y -q query apt/0.7.14 465241 123456 grave bugs of apt (0.7.9 -> 0.7.14) <pending> #465241 - bibtex2html has been installed with an unmet dependency Summary: apt(1 bug) Do you see? The query command lists *one bug only*, because, *among the bugs that the user is interested in* (that is to say: 465241 and 123456), *only one* (465241) affects apt/0.7.14 and is RC. The list command, on the other hand, shows four bugs, which is correct (because four bugs affect apt/0.7.14), but does not meet my needs. I hope I clarified. -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/index.html#nanodocs The nano-document series is here! ..................................................... Francesco Poli .
