Package: apt Version: 0.5.27 Severity: minor I tried finding out why apt-get source doesn't work for me (bug report on its way), but couldn't, even after looking at like 4 apt manpages (apt, apt-get, apt.conf, apt_preferences), find any option/flag to ask apt-get to be more verbose at what's going on.
An exhaustive list of config options would be nice too in some manpage, so one can search through it and find the options one needs. --Jeroen -- Package-specific info: -- apt-config dump -- APT ""; APT::Architecture "i386"; APT::Build-Essential ""; APT::Build-Essential:: "build-essential"; Dir "/"; Dir::State "var/lib/apt/"; Dir::State::lists "lists/"; Dir::State::cdroms "cdroms.list"; Dir::State::userstatus "status.user"; Dir::State::status "/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Cache "var/cache/apt/"; Dir::Cache::archives "archives/"; Dir::Cache::srcpkgcache "srcpkgcache.bin"; Dir::Cache::pkgcache "pkgcache.bin"; Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; Dir::Etc::sourcelist "sources.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorlist "vendors.list"; Dir::Etc::vendorparts "vendors.list.d"; Dir::Etc::main "apt.conf"; Dir::Etc::parts "apt.conf.d"; Dir::Etc::preferences "preferences"; Dir::Bin ""; Dir::Bin::methods "/usr/lib/apt/methods"; Dir::Bin::dpkg "/usr/bin/dpkg"; DPkg ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs ""; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -ne 10"; DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: "/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true"; DPkg::Tools ""; DPkg::Tools::Options ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges ""; DPkg::Tools::Options::/usr/bin/apt-listchanges::Version "2"; -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool. deb http://security.debian.org sarge/updates main contrib non-free deb file:///org/ftp.debian.org/ftp sarge main non-free contrib #deb http://ftp.debian.nl/debian sarge main non-free contrib deb-src file:///org/ftp.debian.org/ftp sarge main non-free contrib #deb-src http://ftp.debian.nl/debian/ woody main non-free contrib # mplayer en meer (http://marillat.free.fr/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/) #deb http://hpisi.nerim.net/ testing main deb http://debian.tu-bs.de/mplayer/ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat testing main # mijzelf deb-src http://snapshot.debian.net/archive pool phpbb2 deb http://qa.debian.org/~jeroen/lintian ./ deb-src http://qa.debian.org/~jeroen/lintian ./ -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-2-686 Locale: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-6 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
