--- Begin Message ---Package: apt-cross Version: 0.1.0 Severity: normal Hi, I've just tried apt-cross for the first time having previously used dpkg-cross. It looks like it should be a very helpful tool, and my first attempt worked: # apt-cross -a arm --install librecode-dev (One suggestion is that it could accept "install" as well as "--install", for more consistency with apt-get. And a -s for simulate would also be appreciated.) So that was OK but I soon realised that it had loaded librecode-dev for unstable, which has the new ABI! So I uninstalled it, which worked, and tried to install an older version, from stable: # apt-cross -a arm --remove librecode-dev # apt-cross -a arm -S stable --install librecode-dev This simply printed: One package to install. straight away and did nothing else. With "-S testing" it did seem to work: it downloaded the package files and then downloaded and installed the requested library and dependencies. I eventually realised that I needed to do "apt-cross -a arm -S stable --update" first. After that the --install worked fine. So the bug is that for unstable and testing it seemed to automatically download the package files while for stable it didn't. And/or, that without the package files it printed only a very terse message, not "no packages files, please run apt-cross --update". Here is the contents of my sources.list, exluding commented-out lines, in case it is relevent : deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable main deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main deb http://tonelli.sns.it/pub/mplayer/etch ./ deb http://mirrors.ecology.uni-kiel.de/debian/debian-multimedia unstable main Please excuse me if I am doing something stupid (or if you consider my expectations unreasonable!), and thank you for this excellent tool.
