Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.11-1 Severity: wishlist Here we see that we had all the archives we needed, but are thwarted anyway due to a missing partial/ directory that we aren't going to be using anyway.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 98.2 MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Y E: Archives directory /mnt/usb/extra1/partial is missing. - Acquire (30: Read-only file system) Writing extended state information... In the worst case the user could not proceed and must make a trip to town to purchase additional read-write media upon which to make a partial/ directory. _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
