The python-apt module is not really a drop-in replacement for apt. Unfortunately, for Jessie, apt-offline has python-apt as the default backend. This update for Jessie will change that to standard apt, something that is the default in newer releases too. Please see attached debdiff for the exact change. Please respond to this bug report with an ACK and then I'll upload it to the archive. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.2.3+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_IN.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
