you are right, Julian, I am sorry. The behaviour has not changed at all
compared to previous ubuntu releases.
In my case there was the dpkg inconsistency, requiring execution of
'dpkg --configure -a'
But at the same time there was some dependency problem which required
calling 'apt -f install'
from precise (12.04):
# check if we can lock the cache and if the cache is clean
if which apt-get >/dev/null && ! eval apt-get check -f $XAPTOPT $XSTDERR ; then
debug_echo "error encountered in cron job with \"apt-get check\"."
exit 0
fi
I also verified that the implementation has not
I can't follow. The apt-get check check has been there since 2007, and
the check is the same since 2004.
