Package: apt-listbugs
Version: 0.0.82
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The feature to automaticaly pin packages is required when one needs to
do a safe batch upgrade.
I use this feature when I do an upgrade using cron-apt. In this case
two successive 'apt-get upgrade' will upgrade all "safe" packages.
The first will pin the erroneous packages and the second will do the
upgrade.
In an interactive environment this can be done with an option, for
example --force-pin, but apt-get, as it is called by cron-apt, does not
pass options to apt-listbugs, so I had to introduce an apt.conf option
in order to be able to supply to apt-listbugs the required option.
I would be thankfull if you incorporated the supplied patch to the next
appropriate release.
