Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 Severity: normal Hi,
apt is confused with releases on my system it seems: lucretia:~# apt-get install adduser/temp Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done E: Release 'temp' for 'adduser' was not found lucretia:~# grep Archive /var/lib/apt/lists/_home_admin_mechanix_debs_i386_archives_._Release Archive: temp lucretia:~# grep adduser /var/lib/apt/lists/_home_admin_mechanix_debs_i386_archives_._Packages Package: adduser Filename: i386/adduser_3.36_all.deb This package includes the adduser and deluser commands for creating Adding users with adduser is much easier than adding them by hand. lucretia:~# apt-cache showpkg adduser | grep mechanix_debs_i386 3.36(/var/lib/apt/lists/_home_admin_mechanix_debs_i386_archives_._Packages) This 'temp' release is a bunch of debs that I threw in a directory and ran dpkg-scanpackages on; there *is* a Release file in it etc., everything is as it should be. Any ideas what the problem would be? I'm sending this to maintonly, but feel free to make a real bug out of it if you think something is really wrong.
