Package: apt Version: 0.5.24 Severity: wishlist apt is built with the -O2 flag even if the environment variable DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains the string "noopt". Policy section 10.1 recommends (but does not require) building with minimum optimizations. I think this should be achieved in this case by adding -O0 to the gcc command line.
In certain cases this would make debugging a lot easier, both for binaries from the apt package and programs using the libraries from the apt package. -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (150, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-6 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-6 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 -- no debconf information
