Nevertheless manual verification what the problem is does not help
beginners which try apt-dater the first time - they are left without any
clue what was wrong or how it should be if it fails completely silent.
I absolutely agree that it should be some more verbose. There was a
change off the output protocol of apt-dater-host which adds a diagnostic
line (ADPERR) by apt-dater-host. Sadly, the CUI does not show up this
line, yet.

That is the reason why you should call after a sucessful connect
"apt-dater-host status" :) Then you will see, if it works
Thats not entirely true and that is exactly the problem ;)
With the manual "apt-dater-host status" step you cannot see:
1.) that ssh login with password is actually not supported in apt-dater
2.) that the sudoers line given before is missing and the refresh will
actually fail
To explain 2.) more detailled:
I have a host that does *not* contain the line
"user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude update, /usr/bin/apt-get update"
"apt-dater-host status" will output:
ADPROTO: 0.5
LSBREL: Debian|6.0.3|squeeze
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
VIRT: Physical
UNAME: Linux|x86_64
FORBID: 0
...
STATUS: cpio|2.11-4|i
KERNELINFO: 0 2.6.32-5-vserver-amd64
How do I see with that information that updating the host will fail?
Even when I run "apt-dater-host refresh" it runs through without any problems:
ADPROTO: 0.5
Hit http://security.debian.org squeeze/updates Release.gpg
...
and then output as above.
But when I press "g" in apt-dater the host will be moved to "Unknown".
When I add
"user ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/aptitude update, /usr/bin/apt-get update"
to sudoers, it will work as expected: The host is shows in "Up to date" after
I press g.
Is this the behaviour as it should be?
'apt-dater-host refresh' has to update the package list which requires
root privileges on apt-get hosts. The ADPERR line should give the
correct error source (although it is not showed at the CUI, yet).
I additionally noticed now that "VIRT: Physical" is not correct, it seems
unable to detect vserver properly. Shall I open a bug report for that too?
Yes, please open a bug. It might be helpful if you supply the content of
/proc/cpuinfo and the output of dmidecode along with the opening.
Regards,
Thomas
