Bug#398297: bug 398297: apt-move: doesn't move, doesn't delete

[Jurrie Overgoor]

The bug is also in apt-move 4.2.27-2 (from Ubuntu 12.04 repo). The 
solution by Robert works like a charm. Thanks Robert!

Bug#656958: fai: install_packages should support custom aptitude options

[Jurrie Overgoor]

Package: fai
Severity: wishlist

Installing Debian Squeeze with Iceweasel from squeeze-backports does not work
well. Using the syntax iceweasel/squeeze-backports in my packag_config does not
cut it. Aptitude will try to install Iceweasel from squeeze-backports, but not
its dependencies. For this, one should use the '-t' parameter with Aptitude.

Currently, this can not be done with install_packages. Please include support
for custom parameters. For example, the syntax could be:
PACKAGES aptitude CLASSNAMES
OPTIONS-MIRROR -t squeeze_backports
OPTIONS-INSTALL
  package1
  package 2
  ...

Install_packages is used to get all .deb packages when building the mirror repo,
but also when installing the packages during a FAI install. Both steps might
need different custom options. The '-t' parameter would probably not work during
FAI install; it's only needed for retrieving the packages and building the
mirror.

This wishlist item is a result of this e-mail on the mailinglist:
https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2012-January/009460.html

With kind regards,

Jurrie

Can you explain this in more detail? Why does -t may not work during
installation?


The -t parameter selects the repository to install from.

While building the apt mirror, FAI should retrieve the package from the 
squeeze-backports repository. So the -t parameter should be used.
While installing, FAI should retrieve the package from the apt mirror it 
created before. The -t parameter will circumvent this...


With kind regards,

Jurrie
