Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.10-6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Thank you for maintaining aptitude for as long as you have. For reasons unknown, aptitude hasn't used free desktop basedir specifications while quite a few desktops and other software has moved. See https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html for the latest spec. The one which I am concerned about is in the environment variables - $XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used. I can understand that there exists a possibility of breakage if the change is introduced in the next release or something. I am basing this from the info. in the manpage at the bottom - FILES /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates The file in which stored package states and some package flags are stored. /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*, ~/.aptitude/config The configuration files for aptitude. ~/.aptitude/config overrides /etc/apt/apt.conf. See apt.conf(5) for documentation of the format and contents of these files. -- Package-specific info: Terminal: xterm-256color $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.8.10 Compiler: g++ 7.2.0 Compiled against: apt version 5.0.2 NCurses version 6.0 libsigc++ version: 2.10.0 Gtk+ support disabled.
