Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: normal The command:
# apt-get -t potato install pacman is not recognized as the same as: # apt-get -t stable install pacman even though "potato" and "stable" are the same. That is aggravated by the lack of apt-get checking and failing if a specified target does not exist. So, in this case, the command would proceed with no user warning to install (and potentially upgrade) his pacman to the newest version available. apt-get should check and fail if the target does not exist. This would also prevent the same problem when a typo occurs, e.g.: # apt-get -t stble install pacman Thanks, Zorzella -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux purple 2.2.18 #1 Sun Jan 14 08:53:46 PST 2001 i586 unknown Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.4-1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-0.01090 The GNU stdc++ library
