Hello,
It seems that the latest APT update breaks the base python-apt
InstallProgress, as some package names in the status stream also feature
the package architecture (packagename:arch).
This is the produced traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bricks", line 181, in run
engine.cache.commit(AcquireProgress(self.parent),
InstallProgress(self.parent))
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 504, in commit
res = self.install_archives(pm, install_progress)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 467, in
install_archives
res = install_progress.run(pm)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/progress/base.py", line
206, in run
res = self.wait_child()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/progress/base.py", line
276, in wait_child
self.update_interface()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/progress/base.py", line
253, in update_interface
if float(percent) != self.percent or status_str != self.status:
ValueError: could not convert string to float: amd64
I'm attaching a quick and dirty patch that fixes the issue.
Regards,
Eugenio
