Hi Josh,
2016-04-20 01:50 Josh Triplett:
Package: aptitude
Version: 0.7.8-1
Severity: normal
"man aptitude" says:
-t <release>, --target-release <release>
Set the release from which packages should be installed. For
instance, “aptitude -t experimental ...” will install packages
from the experimental distribution unless you specify otherwise.
For the command-line actions “changelog”, “download”, and “show”,
this is equivalent to appending /<release> to each package named on
the command-line;
However:
/tmp$ aptitude -t unstable download apt-listchanges
Get: 1 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental/main amd64 apt-listchanges
all 3.1 [101 kB]
Fetched 101 kB in 0s (301 kB/s)
/tmp$ aptitude download apt-listchanges/unstable
Get: 1 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable/main amd64 apt-listchanges all
2.89 [95.7 kB]
Fetched 95.7 kB in 0s (267 kB/s)
The same goes for "show" and "changelog".
Thanks for the report.
Note for future review: this is probably the same issue as #693684, or
at least should be considered at the same time.
