Package: release-notes Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
Section "4.4.5. Upgrading the system" [0] has at the end the suggestion: "trying apt-get -f install package.". In the best (and usual) case the -f has no effect here. -f stands for --fix-broken, so if nothing is broken (referring to the current state of the system – ala "dpkg --audit" output is not empty) nothing bad (nor anything good) happens cause of it. If the system is broken through -f takes full effect – and specifying packages after it is usually not a good idea as this needs to be a complete solution sidestepping apts resolver entirely, while without apt-get will figure out a solution on its own with the resolver (which is why later on in troubleshooting its mentioned without). So, in the way this is presented it feels like -f stands for --force even through such a flag doesn't exist (nor would it be sensible). It also wastes three keystrokes per user. ;) Attached is a diff to drop the -f from all translations, even those which seem kinda stale (I have my doubts "aptitude -f" had the behaviour suggested in older version here either, but I haven't touched those). Hope that helps. Best regards David Kalnischkies
