Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debtags
I'm using a (relatively) clean install of Xubuntu 8.04 In the cron.daily folder, one of the programs intended to run every day is debtags. The debtags program, however, is not installed by default. I don't think this is critical, but it does result in cron yelling at you (via mail, which I suppose no one ever checks...) every day. ==== >From /var/spool/mail/pat ==== >From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 25 08:17:46 2008 Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: from BlueBarracuda (localhost [127.0.0.1]) . by BlueBarracuda (8.14.2/8.14.2/Debian-2build1) with ESMTP id m7PCHjrK014368 . for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:17:45 -0400 Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) . by BlueBarracuda (8.14.2/8.14.2/Submit) id m7PCHieH014109 . for root; Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:17:44 -0400 Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 08:17:44 -0400 Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Anacron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on bluebarracuda /etc/cron.daily/debtags: /etc/cron.daily/debtags: 4: debtags: not found run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/debtags exited with return code 127 ==== ls /etc/cron.daily ==== 0anacron apport apt aptitude bsdmainutils debtags logrotate man-db mlocate sendmail standard sysklogd ==== cat /etc/cron.daily/debtags ==== #!/bin/sh # Update the data and index files of Debtags debtags update ==== aptitude show debtags ==== Package: debtags State: not installed Version: 1.7.3ubuntu4 Priority: optional Section: admin Maintainer: Ubuntu Core Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Uncompressed Size: 1053k Depends: apt, libapt-pkg-libc6.7-6-4.6, libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libept0 (>= 0.5.11), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1-4), libxapian15, perl, zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-1) Suggests: tagcoll Conflicts: apt-index-watcher Description: Enables support for package tags debtags provides a system to download a database of package tags and keep it up to date. A package tag is a small label that gets attached to a Debian package to represent one of its qualities. A package tag database in the system can enable advanced package search techniques, and advanced package browsing functions in programs that support it. This package has been made as a way to deploy and test package tags support until it gets integrated in the normal Debian workflow.
