Package: apt Version: 0.1.6 I found a problem when i downloaded and installed programs with apt version 0.1.6 (if i remember correctly older versions i used didn't show this problem). I was able to reproduce the bug with wmaker_0.19.3-1:
I downloaded wmaker_0.19.3-1 with apt. When apt tries to unpack and setup wmaker, the directory /etc/GNUstep/Defaults is left empty. But in wmaker are config-files which have to be unpacked there. If i use dpkg -i wmaker_0.19.3-1 the package is be installed correctly, namley with all files in /etc/GNUstep/Defaults unpacked. It makes no difference, if i use dselect with method apt or if i use apt-get on the commandline. If find it also anoying that downloaded files are being deleted if i use the apt-method in dselect. I would much prefer it if, like ftp-method, i would be asks, if the downloaded files should be erased. -- System Information Debian Release: slink Kernel Version: Linux teddy 2.0.34 #1 Thu Sep 10 17:59:05 CEST 1998 i586 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.0.7t-1 The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files) ii libstdc++2.8 2.90.29-0.6 The GNU stdc++ library (egcs version) --- Begin /etc/apt/sources.list (modified conffile) deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free non-US --- End /etc/apt/sources.list
