Package: python-apt Version: 0.8.0 Severity: normal Consider the following code: import sys import apt_pkg
apt_pkg.init_config() apt_pkg.config["Dir::Etc"] = "/home/rhertzog/deb/core/rolling/sat-britney/apt-etc" apt_pkg.config["Dir::State"] = "/home/rhertzog/deb/core/rolling/sat-britney/apt-state" apt_pkg.config["Dir::Cache"] = "/home/rhertzog/deb/core/rolling/sat-britney/apt-cache" apt_pkg.init_system() acquire = apt_pkg.Acquire() srclist = apt_pkg.SourceList() if not srclist.read_main_list(): sys.stdout.write("Failed to read sources.list") if srclist.get_indexes(acquire, True): sys.stdout.write("Update OK\n") else: sys.stdout.write("Update failed\n") res = acquire.run() if res == apt_pkg.Acquire.RESULT_CONTINUE: sys.stdout.write("Download OK\n") else: sys.stdout.write("Download failed\n") I have a created a simple sources.list in Dir::Etc (listing an http:// URL) but I'm missing a partial directory in Dir::State::lists. The code will execute without errors but no files will be downloaded. Either it should auto-create the "partial" sub-dir or it should fail with a proper error/exception. The current behavior is sub-optimal.
