Package: apt-show-versions
Version: 0.16
Tags: patch
Hi,
APT since version 0.8.11 prefers to download the clearsigned InRelease file
instead of Release and his detached signature Release.gpg.
Unfortunately apt-show-versions only parses the Release file and
doesn't support InRelease files.
The result is e.g.:
$ apt-show-versions apt dpkg
apt/unknown upgradeable from 0.8.11 to 0.8.11.1
dpkg/unknown uptodate 1.15.8.10
Note the 'unknown' release here.
While I am not a perl programmer, I think the following patch should enable
apt-show-versions to use either *_Release or *_InRelease file and at least
does it for me in my tests:
--- apt-show-versions-0.16/apt-show-versions 2009-06-19 17:37:00.000000000
+++ apt-show-versions-0.16.1/apt-show-versions 2011-02-10 14:27:19.000000000

Thanks for work on this package and best regards,
