--- Begin Message ---Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.3-1 Severity: important This was the expected behavior since ages(tm) with aptitude: # aptitude --version aptitude 0.7.5 [...] # apt-cache policy aufs-tools aufs-tools: Installed: (none) Candidate: (none) Version table: # aptitude install aufs-tools No candidate version found for aufs-tools No candidate version found for aufs-tools No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. [..] # echo $? 0 Now starting with aptitude 0.7.6 (and it also applies to most recent version v0.8.3) we get this behavior instead: # aptitude --version aptitude 0.7.6 [...] # aptitude install aufs-tools No candidate version found for aufs-tools Unable to apply some actions, aborting # echo $? 255 This seems to be what's documented as follows inside /usr/share/aptitude/NEWS: * [cmdline] Abort with Failure when actions cannot be taken (Closes: #121313, #430392, #445034, #498239, #576212, #639789, #798320) But this actually breaks automated installations, where situations like above with non-existing packages might be present and are expected or at least accepted. To provide an example for such a use case: the Grml.org live system has daily ISO builds using grml-live and its underlying FAI software. Now with aptitude version >=0.7.6 whenever a single Debian package is missing in the Debian archive (like with aufs-tools in Debian/testing in the above example) the ISO can't be generated at all because the aptitude command fails hard. (JFTR, the validation about the package installation state takes place at a later stage in the ISO build process. For expected but non-present packages this marks the build as unstable instead of stable, but it does *not* fail the build.) Assuming that you don't want to switch back to the previous command line behavior please at least consider providing an option (APT::Get::...) to not abort with a failure in such a situation, so the previous behavior can be restored in tools like FAI through that option. (I think this issue *could* actually warrant an RC bug severity since that behavior change might bite users in automated scripts.) regards, -mika-
