Bug#405256: Re #405256: apt-listbugs error
I got somewhat different error messages after my initial report, and am getting the same messages (I think) on a different system: Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports... 0% W: syntax error Error retrieving bug reports Retry downloading bug information?[Y/n]? W: syntax error Error retrieving bug reports The preceding was with the unstable apt-listbugs 0.0.71 running within apt-get on a 2.6 kernel. My original report was with the testing version running within aptitude on a 2.4 kernel. -- Ross Boylan wk: (415) 514-8146 185 Berry St #5700 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept of Epidemiology and Biostatistics fax: (415) 514-8150 University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, CA 94107-1739 hm: (415) 550-1062 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The original report had a different error message. Second, I gather from that bug report that the ultimate cause of the problem was that the bugs server had a problem. Apparently that has been fixed. Third, I agree with the 405928 submitter that it would be good if apt-listbugs failed in a more controlled, informative way in such situations. Finally, do you still want the extra debugging output? If so, from which system, the one with the original error or the one with the error reported below? Thanks.

Give me an example of what you think is more informative version of the following and I'll consider : getting the same messages (I think) on a different system: Reading package status... Done Retrieving bug reports... 0% W: syntax error Error retrieving bug reports Retry downloading bug information?[Y/n]?

The message looks as if it's indicating an invalid statement in the program. If it is, it would be good to fix the statement. If it's not, it would be good to explain it, or at least indicate that it is a developer-level message. Ross -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The message is now changed so that it is more clear about what the message is about; however the original message is very unclear indeed. It's probably the string defined in /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xml/dom2/domexception.rb regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
