I was playing the Che_Fox's new debs(hot off irc!) and did a little testing. apt-get --help showed the following option, -o
# apt-get upgrade -o=dir::cache=/tmp Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages have been kept back apache-ssl postgresql-dev xserver-8514 timidity whiptail cheops 106 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. E: Could not open lock file /tmp/archives/lock - open (2 No such file or directory) E: Unable to lock the download directory Um, why? Why do I need the archives dir? Better docs, or should the dir be auto-created by apt-get(actually, it s/b /tmp/lock, etc). Adam
