Package: gdebi-core Version: 0.3.8 Severity: wishlist According to the manpage (an experiment), gdebi only accepts a single file as argument. Thus
for i in *_all.deb *_i386.deb; do do gdebi $i done works, but gdebi *_all.deb *_i386.deb does not -- all but the first file is silently ignored. Not only would it be convenient for gdebi to be variadic in this way, an intelligent gdebi would allow dependencies to be fulfilled in the correct order. That is, if for i in *.deb; do gdebi $i; done expanded to gdebi festvox-arctic-awb_all.deb gdebi mbrola_i386.deb Then the first gdebi would (presumably) crash because festvox-arctic-awb_all.deb depends on mbrola_i386.deb. Specifying both at once would (hopefully) allow gdebi/dpkg to "know" to install mbrola first. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
