Package: apt-dater Version: 1.0.1+git20150119-1 Severity: serious apt-dater by default sets an empty (commented out) options file. after adding hosts, all connections failed because the commands were like this (transcript's command file):
"/usr/bin/ssh" "(null)" "-l" "chrysn" "hephaistos.amsuess.com"
with typescripts like that:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname (null): Name or service not known
after checking the lib/cmd script in the source coe and setting all the
per-host settings, it turned out that the "(null)" comes from the
$AD_SSH_OPTFLAGS variable there.
setting <ssh opt-cmd-flags="-t"/> (or any other value) in apt-dater.xml
works around the issue, but that should really not be necessary, and
opt-cmd-flags should be initialized to "" instead of "(null)". (or,
better, to -t, depending on how essential it is, but it seems like it).
best regards
