Attached is a patch that should fix this bug. I've uploaded a test build to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~broder/+archive/ubuntu-tests). I've also submitted the bug upstream to Debian.
I'm planning to upload the fix to Lucid as soon as I've verified that the PPA test build completed successfully. ** Attachment added: "apticron_1.1.38ubuntu1.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40123036/apticron_1.1.38ubuntu1.debdiff ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #572421 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572421 ** Also affects: apticron (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572421 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- apticron uninstallable without cron https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/529381 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
