Package: apt-listbugs Severity: wishlist Apt-listbugs fails frequently (dependent upon internet connection, servers) with "Empty string from SOAP". Dependencies permitting, one can upgradepackages one-at-a-time or two-at-a-time and have it work. This makes upgrading Sid tedious and tenuous at best.
A bug about this has been repeatedly submitted. Problem gets better, then repeats. Apt-listbugs will most always work with fewer items but often the dependencies of packages being upgraded will not allow this to be done manually if I had the patience to do so. The workaround would be: 1. Try the whole package list as now--quickest and most efficient if only this would work. If it does, fine, if not: 2. Try the package items on at a time. Bugs found would be list sequentially as now. Any failures would also be so listed with the same return code as now. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (650, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-davidb (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
