- -- Real Problems
- #24000: Bug in apt Version: 0.0.17-1bo0
- Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source for a package
- Status: Require Status file.
- #24717: apt dies early if one postinst/preinst dies
- Status: Requires dpkg modifications
- #25104: APT should retry failed downloads
- Summary: FTP method has problems with busy servers
- Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
- to control this desired behavoir.
- #25176: Problem with FTP/firewall
- #25458: Problem with FTP/firewall
- Summary: FTP method has no controls for firewalls
- Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
- to control this desired behavoir.
-
- -- Fixed but unclosed things
- #25026: apt: Why do you list the packages you're _not_ doing anything to instead of the ones you are?
- #22507: apt: apt-get - listing packages to be upgraded (wishlist)
- Summary: Feature request
- Status: Fixed in 0.3.0 via the -u option
- #21113: [Apt] In dselect, update dies and exits if the packages file is not found.
- Status: Fixed in 0.3.0
- #22675: APT does not honor the --admin-dir option
- #22836: Disk/Zip-Method for apt?
- Summary: APT does not provide a way to download packages onto a
- removable media for another computer
- Status: 0.3.0 has substantially better support for this to the point
- that it is doable by using a separate configuration file and
- the -c option
- #27601: srange errors from dselect
- Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source
- Status: Require status file
- Believed to be fixed in 0.1.9, was not reproducible w/ given
- status file
- #27841: apt: apt depends on a missing library
- Status: New versions of APT in slink have been compiled with libstdc++2.9
- #23984: apt: support for "no_proxy" would be nice
- Status: Planned to be integrated into the new methods via the configuration
- file
- Done - Use Acquire::http::proxy::host.com="DIRECT"
- #25021: apt: Need some control over multiple connections
- Status: Probable that 0.3.x will have support for configuing some
- parameters
- Done - Use Acquire::Queue-Mode="access"
- #25019: apt: Confusing progress report
- Summary: Gripes about the progress meter
- Status: I do not intend to implement very many of these ideas in apt-get.
- The GUI will naturally be better
- I think the new progress meter address basically everyone's
- concerns.
- #25022: apt: Lack of feedback on date checking
- Summary: Wants to know what package files were not updated
- Status: There is no place for this in the current apt-get design,
- probably won't make the GUI either.
- Wee, the new acquire code allows this, it now prints out 'Hit'
- #26019: apt may report wrong line speed
- #26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist)
- #28778: apt: apt's fetched message is wrong for update of packages files
- Summary: APT includes the fetch time from the local cache in its
- calculations
- Status: Probably will be fixed with new acquire code
- And it actually was fixed with the new acquire code
- #26670: apt: apt-get dumps core after checking integrity
- Summary: Some terminal environments cause APT to crash
- Win95 telnet and emacs term-in-a-buffer are two at least
- Status: I have no idea why.
- Seems to be gone in .3, whatever it was...
- #25001: apt: cleaned out archive even though not all files were installed
- Status: Apparently in some cases APT can return a success code even
- though it failed. I'm paying very close attention to this in
- 0.3.x. Not to mention that the clean behavior will be
- configurable..
- #28391: apt-get install without upgrading
- Summary: Make install leave the package in the keep state if it is already
- installed
- Status: Will be implemented in 0.3.0
- Try the --no-upgrade options
- #28373: apt package is missing information on ftp.conf
- #29293: apt: Docs reference apt(8) but apt(8) not provided.
- Summary: The man pages have references to several non-existent items,
- ftp.conf is only one of them.
- Status: Fix the man pages. This certainly will be done in 0.3.0
- #24799: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect
- Summary: Wants to be able to specifiy -d from dselect
- Status: Likely a APT_OPTIONS environment variable will be created, -d can
- be put there.
- There is already an APT_CONFIG in 0.3, APT_OPTIONS may also
- appear..
- Use Dselect::Options "-d" and others
- #29920: Wish for more verbosity on "has no installation candidate"
- Summary: More reports
- Status: Already fixed in .3
- #29382: apt: apt deletes packages after installation without any question
- Summary: Obvois.
- Status: Fixed in .3, use Dselect::Clean "prompt"
- #30027: apt: version comparison bug
- Summary: Version compare differs from dpkg
- Status: Fixed in all CVS versions.
- #30260: apt: wishlist: do not return to main menu without prompting for return
- Summary: Wants to prompt after dselect update
- Status: Fixed in v3, use dselect::promptafterupdate "true";
- #29441: documenting the codes for -s
- Summary: Apparently the simulation output is not immediately obvois
- Status: Someone should update the man page.
- #24685: HTTP Proxy cache refresh
- Summary: Some caches hold onto the package index file for too long
- Status: It may be possible to insert the proper header to disable
- caching but I can't think how to do this while allowing
- the cache to return cached objects - in effect it would
- completely disable the cache which may not be desired.
- APT now sends a max age header. See the apt.conf(5)
- #28172: HTTP Proxy cache refresh should be forced for corrupted packages
- Summary: Some problem resulted in a corrupted package
- Status: I believe this reflects a deeper problem and the suggested solution
- is only a band-aide patch. I intend to close this bug when #24685
- is fixed with a configuration directive.
- Use -o acquire::http::no-cache=true
- #29351: poor error message after conffile update
- Summary: APT errors when the package file is not found
- Status: The new APT warns better and the error is not fatal
- #30112: apt: internal error in apt
- Summary: APT gives an unclear error when it cannot correct dependencies
- Status: Error is clearer
- #30324: apt-get lying about file dates in /var/state/apt/lists
- Summary: Doesn't copy the file dates right with file URIs
- Status: Fixed in v3
- #30383: apt: dist-upgrade msg "E: Internal error, ScoredFix generated breaks."
- Summary: libc6 maddness causes bizzar problems
- Status: Fixed in v3
- #29983: apt: Wrong diagnostic, could be better
- Summary: It doesn't explicy say you should be root
- Status: Fixed in v3
- #22892: Apt improvements
- Summary: Bails if an index file can't be found
- Status: Fixed in v3
- #28184: apt could be smarter regarding mirrors
- Summary: Make use of redundant sources
- Status: 0.3.0 will likely do this, already the information for it is stored.
- #27646: Apt: dpkg --merge-avail
- Summary: Suggestion to call merge avail after each update operation
- Status: Unlikely. The dpkg --print-avail functions should be obsoleted
- by the apt-query program which should be written.
- Use the dselect script, alias or something.
- #26663: rsync file access
- Status: Unlikely, rsync does not provide the necessary support to be
- a terribly good method. I do not intend any 'split mode'
- support (ie a way to get Package files via rsync and .debs
- via http)
- #27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental
- Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
- Honors the NotAutomatic flag
- #30643: base: apt-get update problems with http-/ftp-caches (i.e. squid)
- Status: Fixed as best I can. Try the Acquire::http::No-Cache option.
- -- Silly things
- #26592: apt: Problems with ftpd in SunOS 5.6
- #29903: apt-get insists onto sending a SIZE command
- Summary: SunOS ftpd does not support the SIZE command
- Status: Probably not worth fixing
- #20723: Apt suggestion
- Summary: Package Grouping Mechanism
- Status: Who knows
- #22550: apt-get upgrade could configure packages earlier
- Status: Who knows
- #23934: apt-get source <package>
- #27190: apt: installing source packages (wishlist)
- Status: Impossible to do without an index file for all source archives.
- #22551: apt: wish: use dist X iff pkg does not exist in dist Y
- Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
- #30237: apt: 0.1.9 checks dependencies against packages.gz
- Summary: For packages with identical version numbers APT prefers
- to use the archive index files
- Status: Yes it is sorta bad, but there is no reasonable solution.
