Package: apt Version: 0.7.11 Followup-For: Bug #462734
I too experience this bug on a machine, where I forcibly installed the sun-java-plugin, that for weeks now is uninstallable in unstable, because it depends on a package that does not exist. therefore "apt-get check" fails in the apt cron. OTOH adding "-f" to the "apt-get check" commandline stops it from failing, so this may be a possible solution to test the lock, yet I do not know the exact sematics of "-f" enough to tell for sure. please consider! peter -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_AT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2008.04.16 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-3 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
