Hi Axel, Thanks for spending time on it and trying to solve it. Sadly, I am not convinced that apt-zip is actively maintained, regularly used/tested nor that it is ready for Jessie. Examples include #718376 or #782179 (the latter you just discovered/filed yesterday). If you are interested in keeping apt-zip in Jessie, then please include a fix for #718376 (I promoted it to grave) and also (have the maintainers) commit to maintaining it for Jessie as well. In the absence of a commitment and a fix for #718376, I would rather see apt-zip removed from Jessie. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
