Hi Sven, there seems consense that check_apt need more work (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nagios-plugins/+bug/1031680). Anyways as this is an upstream project, we are waiting for patches / code from downstream to move to libapt-pkg or something similar. I think it doesn't make sense to work on minor issues as long as we have to port all the stuff later.
Cheers, Jan. -- Reply to this email on GitHub: https://github.com/monitoring-plugins/monitoring-plugins/issues/1256#issuecomment-42938054
