Package: apt Version: 1.3~rc3 Severity: minor The Dir::Etc entry in the apt-config defaults seems to have changed somewhere between the current stable (1.0.9.8.3) and unstable (1.3~rc3) versions. In stable, the default seems to be:
Dir::Etc "etc/apt/"; while in unstable it's: Dir::Etc "etc/apt"; without the trailing slash. This causes a slight problem with installation of Microsoft's skypeforlinux alpha package (see the discussion starting here: https://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Linux-Alpha-and-calling-on-Chrome-amp-Chromebooks/m-p/4468583/highlight/true#M15719 ), so a few of us users are trying to determine whether this is an intentional change that we should ask the skypeforlinux developers to respect or a bug in apt unstable that should be fixed on that side. (The skypeforlinux alpha package appears to have some other issues too, but I'll leave those aside for now.) This is pretty trivial, I suppose, but any light the developers can shed on the issue would be appreciated. - Anne -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.4.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debian-archive-keyring 2014.3 ii gpgv 2.1.15-2 ii init-system-helpers 1.42 ii libapt-pkg5.0 1.3~rc3 ii libc6 2.24-1 ii libgcc1 1:6.2.0-2 ii libstdc++6 6.2.0-2 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii gnupg 2.1.15-2 ii gnupg2 2.1.15-2 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii aptitude 0.8.3-1 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.10 ii powermgmt-base 1.31+nmu1 pn python-apt <none> ii synaptic 0.83+b1 ii wajig 2.17 -- Configuration Files: /etc/logrotate.d/apt changed [not included] -- no debconf information
