Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
I set in the /etc/apt.conf the APT::Cache-limit value in a wrong way:
APT::Cache-limit: "7340032"
The error is the semicolon before the value.
Running:
#apt-confing dump
it does not reports the error and apt-get does not works with that
value resorting to the default one (6291456 bytes).
If the correct syntax is without the semicolon then apt-config dump
works in a wrong way.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux woody/testing, kernel 2.4.19
and libc6 2.3.1-3

er, you just defined a variable that happened to end in a semicolon. Just
because it doesn't match any currently defined name used by the apt-config
program doesn't mean it's an error.
