Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: wishlist
aptitude was interrupted in the middle of an upgrade (the ssh
connection failed) and then subsequent calls to "aptitude update" gave
the message (even after I removed the lock files):
W: Warning: could not lock the cache file. Opening in read-only mode
apt-get on the other hand gave a more informative error message:
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem.
Would be great if aptitude noticed it too!
While I am at it, it would also be nice that "aptitude clean" does not
need disk space (apt-get clean does not). This is because, sometimes
one forgets to clean the cache, so the /var/ partition becomes full
and one cannot use "aptitude clean" to correct that state of affairs!
Regards,
ChriS

There doesn't appear to be any major difference between the code for
apt-get and aptitude that would cause this. Nor can I reproduce this
with 0.6.5-1:
# ls /var/cache/apt/archives/lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock
/var/lib/dpkg/lock /var/lock/aptitude
ls: cannot access /var/cache/apt/archives/lock: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /var/lib/apt/lists/lock: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /var/lib/dpkg/lock: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /var/lock/aptitude: No such file or directory
# df -h /var
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file
or directory
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
- 20G 20G 0 100% /
# aptitude clean
#
Closing. Please reopen if this can still be reproduced.
