Package: cupt Version: 2.0.0 Severity: normal APT recently switched to using InRelease files when available instead of Release files. This causes cupt to fail when used in combination with APT:
E: unable to open release file
'//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_Release': No such file or
directory
W: skipped the index file
'//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages'
APT 0.8.14 now also renames InRelease files to Release
files if their verification fails, which won't work either,
as seen in my hacked cupt version (see below):
W: no vendor specified in release file
'//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_InRelease'
W: no archive specified in release file
'//var/lib/apt/lists/localhost:3142_debian_dists_sid_InRelease'
cupt needs to:
* Use an InRelease file if one exists
* Skip the first section in Release files if it does
not contain the data needed (it contains the GPG
signature)
-- My hack:
This is just a hack to read an InRelease file instead of an
Release file if it exists, for testing purposes. The most
important problem is actually CacheImpl::getDownloadUriOfReleaseList(),
as there are now two options for its return value.
