Package: apt Version: 0.5.0 Severity: normal Currently, ReadConfigDir seems to only exclude files with certain extensions (.disabled, .dpkg-old, etc.). It misses, in particular, vim .swp files (which also start with a dot, and otherwise don't look like real config files). This causes bad things to happed if apt is run while a vim session is open on one of the files in apt.conf.d.
Note that adding .swp to the list of forbidden extensions doesn't fix the problem, as multiple sessions seem to get filenames ending in .swo, .swn, etc. You could, however, fix things by ignoring all filenames starting with a dot. It might be more sensible, however, to invert the check, and only pay attention to files with a certain extension (say, .conf). -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mizar 2.4.0 #1 Sat Jan 6 09:34:06 EST 2001 i686 Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.2-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10 1:2.95.2-14 The GNU stdc++ library -- - mdz
