Bug#498799: +1, any chance for Lenny?
Quoting Ferenc Wagner ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): (Either you didn't Cc: me or the message got lost; it's a pity: we pretty much wasted a week...) As far as I have seen, noone follwoed up to your mail. Sad, but that's how APT maintenance is done right now. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Sad, but that's how APT maintenance is done right now. Is there any particular reason for that? APT is installed on every single Debian system... Is it the responsibility? Or rather the complexity?

Thanks for the patch, while it certainly fixes the problem I think its not ideal because it adds a check into the generic layer of libapt against a APT::Get config item (that is the namespace of apt-get). I attached a alternative solution that move the state file writing into dpkgpm.cc instead. Its is a problem for packages that reimplement pkgDPkgPM::Go() (I doubt that anyone is doing that). Sad, but that's how APT maintenance is done right now. Is there any particular reason for that? APT is installed on every single Debian system... Is it the responsibility? Or rather the complexity? Just curious. This is currently discussed in another thread. I have no good answer, but I think not enough time is a important issue. Help is certainly welcome.

Just curious. Well, as usual: because noone cares enough, or rather because those who care also care about a lot of other stuffwhich is certainly a better reward to the work done by those who currently care about apt and do their best to keep it in shape. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi, There's no voting system on the BTS, but I'd like to express interest in fixing this bug, as it messes up Nagios' apt_check output. After a quick look at the sources, it doesn't seem that hard. If I prepared a patch, would it have any chance getting into Lenny? -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If I prepared a patch, would it have any chance getting into Lenny? Yes, if the patch is small there is certainly a chance. There is a apt upload pending with some other fixes.
