I may be slightly naive here (having not looked into the code yet), but
can we not have apt-cdrom reuse the apt-get codepath to "unpack
Packages.{bz2,gz} to /var/lib/apt" and then use the results for the
Release file verification?One could, of course, make the above conditional on the CD not having uncompressed Packages files, if you want to avoid populating /var/lib/apt and wasting local disk space when the CD *does* have those files. -- requires uncompressed Packages files on CDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255545 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
