Package: apt-show-versions Version: 0.17 Severity: minor *** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi all, I have been using apt-show-versions for over a year and most of the time its been good. Sometimes though it throws a curveball. For instance mozilla.debian.net has made some changes to its repo. http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2115 basically the /etc/apt/sources.list a user needs to add the following lines to use/check out the releases from mozilla.debian.net #Debian mozilla repostiory deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-beta deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental iceweasel-aurora Now did that and re-ran and $sudo aptitude update Tried to use apt-show-versions to see if all the releases are shown or not. $ apt-show-versions -a iceweasel iceweasel 5.0-2 install ok installed iceweasel 3.5.16-6 stable http.us.debian.org iceweasel 3.5.19-3 testing http.us.debian.org iceweasel 3.5.19-3 sid http.us.debian.org iceweasel 5.0-2 experimental http.us.debian.org iceweasel 6.0~b1-1 experimental mozilla.debian.net iceweasel/experimental uptodate 5.0-2 As can be seen iceweasel only shows 6.0 beta version for mozilla.debian.net Seeing the same in aptitude versions gives a slightly different picture $ aptitude versions iceweasel p 3.5.16-6 stable 500 p 3.5.19-3 testing,unstable 500 i 5.0-2 experimental 100 p 6.0~b1-1 experimental 1 p 7.0~a2+20110707042018-1 experimental 1 I like/prefer apt-show-versions as you also get the full address of from where you are getting the version thing (for e.g. mozilla.debian.net is not an official debian repo). Please fix this, its an annonying bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt-show-versions depends on: ii apt 0.8.15.2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.24+b2 Perl interface to libapt-pkg ii perl [libstorable-perl] 5.12.4-1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction apt-show-versions recommends no packages. apt-show-versions suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
