Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: normal When needed (ie. too many sources listed), a trial-and-error is required to find a suitable value for APT::Cache-Limit, because:
1/ there is no default value listed in apt.conf(8) 2/ apt-config does not list one either For the record, with the current default value, I cannot have at the same time potato, woody, sid (main, contrib,non-free,non-US), plus a deb-src for woody and sid, plus a (small) local repository of backported packages. Also, it may be worthwile to mention that it is only used when "apt-cache gencaches" needs to rebuild the caches. This would reduce potential confusion, because if one rereuns, say, "apt-get update", even with a ridiculously low value, there is an apparent success, which is only due to the fact the parameter is not used (or at least it's my understanding). -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux vitel 2.4.19-station #1 Tue Aug 6 11:36:58 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=french, LC_CTYPE=french Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 1:2.95.4-7 The GNU stdc++ library -- Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.alcove.com/ Technical support manager Responsable de l'assistance technique Senior Free-Software Consultant Consultant senior en Logiciels Libres Debian developer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Développeur Debian
