Package: apt Version: 0.5.28.6 Severity: important
If APT::Default-Release is set to a release name such as "sarge" or "etch," it doesn't complain, but it doesn't work right, either. It seems to only expect "stable," "testing," or "unstable." When I attempted a dist-upgrade with the following: #/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70debconf APT::Default-Release "sarge"; it tried to upgrade from sid. Setting the default release to stable instead of sarge seemed to resolve the problem. -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; APT::Default-Release "stable"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- #deb copy:///cdrom/ sarge main ###################################################################### # Security ###################################################################### deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free ###################################################################### # Stable ###################################################################### deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free ###################################################################### # Testing ###################################################################### deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ etch main contrib non-free ###################################################################### # Unstable ###################################################################### deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free ###################################################################### # Other ###################################################################### #deb http://www.kalyxo.org/debian/ experimental main -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-13 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
