Package: debian-goodies
Version: 0.53
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/debmany
Tags: patch
On a Debian squeeze system with backports enabled, the package ntop
(for example) only exists in squeeze-backports, not in squeeze. So,
the command
apt-get -q2 --print-uris --reinstall install ntop
lists the URLs from squeeze-backports first (I'm not sure why, but it
does), and then the dependencies of ntop, which are in squeeze
repositories. This is a problem for debmany because it downloads the
package listed last in the apt-get output. So, you will get the
documentation of python-mako, or python-markupsafe, or possibly
something else, depending on what you have installed.
Attached is a patch which fixes this. I grep for the package name
instead of just taking the last line of apt-get output. This should
always work as long as the package filename follows Debian
conventions.
The patch also fixes the following minor issues:
1. Version number is supposed to be output with the usage information.
2. Remove obsolete date in usage information.
3. Remove misleading comment in debug output.
