Package: ia32-apt-get Version: 18 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
That package was pulled in automatically by libs-i386 and it breaks nearly everything: - aptitude UI with upgrading does not work, redownloads everything again and again - changing /etc/apt/sources.list is not carried over to whereever that package saves it dummy hosed sources.list (in /e/apt/{386,amd64}) - calling apt-get update from the command line (recommended in another bug report) finishes in a core dump /usr/bin/apt-get: line 46: 30757 Segmentation fault apt-get.real --no-list-cleanup --no-download update - telling the user *ONLY* in the NEWS file that we have to pin i386 packages otherwise they instead of the native ones will be installed is *definitely* not enough. I have NOT decided to include i386 package repositories in my sources.list, if ia32-apt-get adds that automatically it has to make sure that this does not happen. Is this a joke package? It is not April fool's day! If you prefer I will open grave bugs for each of the above. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ia32-apt-get depends on: ii ia32-libs-tools 18 Tools for converting i386 debs for ia32-apt-get recommends no packages. ia32-apt-get suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
