Package: cupt
Version: 1.5.8
Severity: normal
excerpt from cupt_vs_apt(5):
to explicitly disable proxy, set
'acquire::<protocol>::[<host::]proxy' to "", not to "DIRECT"
Neglecting the fact this difference of configuration syntax is
annoying enough when you want to try cupt a bit without fully
abandoning APT, I just could not get it work.
I tried each of the following stanzas, without success:
acquire::http::bugs.debian.org::proxy "";
acquire::http::<bugs.debian.org::proxy "";
acquire::http::proxy::bugs.debian.org "";
acquire::http::proxy::bugs.debian.org "";
All these attempts trigger the following error messages:
E: bad config in file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/11-proxy'
W: skipped configuration file '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/11-proxy'
What is the correct way to do so?
BTW, what is the rationale of the fact that cupt ignores the whole
config file when it does not like a single line of it? This behavior
forces me to sort APT settings in apt.conf.d/ files by
cupt-compliance, rather than by topic (e.g. I'll have to split my
`11-proxy' file into `11-proxy-apt' and `11-proxy-cupt', which I find
kind of ugly).
Bye,
