Package: cupt Version: 2.0.0 Severity: normal APT recently switched to using InRelease files when available instead of Release files. This causes cupt to fail when used in combination with APT:
E: unable to open release file '//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_Release': No such file or directory W: skipped the index file '//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages' APT 0.8.14 now also renames InRelease files to Release files if their verification fails, which won't work either, as seen in my hacked cupt version (see below): W: no vendor specified in release file '//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_InRelease' W: no archive specified in release file '//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_InRelease' cupt needs to: * Use an InRelease file if one exists * Skip the first section in Release files if it does not contain the data needed (it contains the GPG signature) -- My hack: This is just a hack to read an InRelease file instead of an Release file if it exists, for testing purposes. The most important problem is actually CacheImpl::getDownloadUriOfReleaseList(), as there are now two options for its return value. diff --git a/cpp/lib/src/internal/cacheimpl.cpp b/cpp/lib/src/internal/cacheimpl.cpp index 8654d99..370ceac 100644 --- a/cpp/lib/src/internal/cacheimpl.cpp +++ b/cpp/lib/src/internal/cacheimpl.cpp @@ -373,7 +373,10 @@ string CacheImpl::getPathOfIndexList(const IndexEntry& entry) const string CacheImpl::getPathOfReleaseList(const IndexEntry& entry) const { - return getPathOfIndexEntry(entry) + "_Release"; + auto release = getPathOfIndexEntry(entry) + "_Release"; + auto inRelease = getPathOfIndexEntry(entry) + "_InRelease"; + + return fs::fileExists(inRelease) ? inRelease : release; } string CacheImpl::getDownloadUriOfReleaseList(const IndexEntry& entry) const -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (250, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages cupt depends on: ii libboost-program-options1.42. 1.42.0-4 program options library for C++ ii libc6 2.11.2-13 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcupt2-0 2.0.0 alternative front-end for dpkg -- ii libgcc1 1:4.6.0-3 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.6.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 cupt recommends no packages.
