[..] This is tricky to do because the locking works on the version information. If you have two versions with the same version number it is confusing for libapt (and therefore synaptic) to know what version you mean with "locked". Apt in general is not very good with identical version numbers but different package control information (size, dependencies). My advice is to generally have unique version numbers (by e.g. adding "package_1.0-1localbuild1" etc to the version number). Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

The error message in the latest apt is:
_("Unpack command '%s' failed.\n"),S);
_("Check if the 'dpkg-dev' package is installed.\n"));
This should be sufficient IMHO. I don't think the command should fail
before the download because having the source available may be still
helpful and a subsequent apt-get source (after install dpkg-dev)
should do the right thing and unpack the source.

Michael

Yes, it is the "opposite" of the "generate download script" menu item. Stuff that was downloaded with such a script can be added with that menu item (in fact anything that is availalbe in the current authenticated Packages list can be added this way if it passes the md5sum check). > IMHO the function of this item is not clear.

This second pair of double-colons indicates that the option should be
added to a list (Dpkg::Options is a list of arguments passed to
dpkg). I'll happily apply patches that document the apt configuration
synatx.

This is a technical limitation of the way that gettext in this bash

Yes, this is another one. I rewrote the code in this part to use
better string handling:
"""
ioprintf(ret, _("Could not execute '%s' to verify signature (is gnupg
installed?)"), gpgvpath.c_str());

"crappy" is a very negative word. There are numerous other words that
are more neutral to describe that there is a bug ("incorrect" comes to
my mind). I find it quite offensive. Please keep in mind that you
communicate with humans (and fellow debian developers) when you write

Please, the discussion seems to be getting a bit out of hand. Let's relax a bit :) Synaptic implements a policy compliant way to install recommends. It's just not turned on by default. This has two reasons: a) the GUI is not (yet) good for it What I would like to have is a window (like the current "Mark additional required changes window) coming up saying: - "those dependes must be installed" (Depends) - "those dependencies should be install" (Recommends) with a toggle-box, on by default - "those can be installed" (Suggests) with a toggle box, off by default What we have right now is just the window coming up with no selection feature for the user that marks the recommends just like depends. The user can unmark (some) of them etc. b) Recommends are not always used right. When I played with enabling them by default a while ago the result was that way too much was installed (stuff that really should be suggests is reocommends etc). This is certainly a problem because apt dosn't support installing them by default. One of the things I would like to do (and that shouldn't be too hard) is to add --no-recommends to apt and install them by default (just like aptitude). I'm happy that you look at the situation about recommends. The problem was ignored for too long. I personally thing that the course of action should be: 1. patch apt to support install of recommends by default (should be easy, tricky are situations like upgrades etc, but aptitude solved most of the problems for us (hug Daniel Burrows if you meet him :) 2. send a mail to debian-devel (or even debian-devel-announce later) that we are going to enable installing recommends by default just as policy says 3. upload new apt and synaptic after the flamewar^Wdiscussion I guess only if apt installs them by default the maintainers will look over there packages and see what really is a recommends and what should be moved to suggests.

It tells you that there is a missing key (that in itself is not fatal because of the good signature on the release file with the 2005 key). So now your packages should be authenticated again. > Will there be some way to go back and verify package integrity > after this gets fixed? Reinstall these packages? The easiest is to just add the new key with apt-key add by hand. You can also install the new apt and/or the debian-archive-keyring package (when it enters the archive). Then apt-get clean, apt-get update, apt-get install --reinstall apt. This will make sure that apt is ok, then proceed with the installing. Far from ideal, sorry for the bumpy road. But the next key rollover should be much smoother. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

"debian-server" sounds like "a debian server", while > "debian-archive" sounds more (at least to me) like "the Debian > Archive". Thanks everyone for their opinion. I uploaded a new debian-archive-keyring package a couple of minutes ago that will work with apt-key update (and calls it automatically after it was installed). It will also build a udeb (as suggested by Joey Hess, thanks to Colin Watson). About maintainership of this package, I'm happy to maintain it for now, but I'm equally happy to give it away to the ftp-massters. This package solves the problem for scheduled key rollovers (where we sign with both new and old key for a certain time), but it uses the old key to verify the package. This means that it's not suitable against a key compromise of the archive key. How to deal with this scenario needs to be discussed further. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.

The Debian Release should should still be authenticated now (because it found a valid signature from a trusted key and only a missing signature) and you should get no authenticated packages warnings anymore.

My proposal is to create a new debain-server-keyring [1] package that conatins: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg and calls "apt-key update" in it's postinst. apt-key update will add new keys from "debian-archive-keyring.gpg" via "apt-key add" and remove keys in debian-archive-removed-keys.gpg via "apt-key del". This way installing/updating the package will ensure that new keys are added as required and obsolete keys can be removed. Because the keys are part of a package and the package is covered with the trust-chain there is no trust-chain violation. If people are happy with my proposal I'll prepare and upload such a package. Cheers, Michael [1] I think we should create a new package and not use debian-keyring because debian-keyring is pretty big. -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

The current svn trunk of synaptic contains a patch that (hopefully)
fixes this problem. I attach it here and I would appreciate if you
could test it (if possible).

Synaptic will release the lock when commiting the changes to the system (runing dpkg). update-menus should just run after dpkg was run or hook itself into apts "DPkg::Post-Invoke" somehow.

The problem is that libgnome2-perl drags a lot of gnome dependencies with it. synaptic tries to keep a small dependency profile. That's why it is currently a recommend only. I think debian should install libgnome2-perl by default if the user seleects a gnome-desktop. I perfer that much over having a dependency on libgnome2-perl.

I wonder if it is not easier if "update-manager" (a application used in ubuntu to just display available software update) is ported to debian (people are already working on doing this). It seems to me that the main use-case you describe - installing (security) updates - is covered with it better. Let me know what you thing about it. Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.

Thanks for your bugreport.
It will eventually recover when it gets a newer If-Modified-Since
value for the file. Still I think there is not a lot value in keeping
a file around in partial that was successfully downloaded but that
can't be uncompressed. Could you please have a look at the attached
patch and check if it solves your problem?
Cheers,
Michael

Bug#331668: build-dep and pinning
Hi, I was pondering about this a bit and I don't think it can be supported. The best that can be done seems to be to allow: # apt-get build-dep evolution -t unstable to get evolution from unstable (that should work in the next apt upload to experimental). The problem is that there will be packages with different source than binary version number (because of bin-NMUs). E.g.: $ apt-cache madison dpkg dpkg | 1.13.11.0.1 | http://ftp.debian.org sid/main Packages dpkg |1.13.11 | http://ftp.debian.org sid/main Sources If apt [build-dep|source] would use the version number from the canidate version (1.13.11.0.1) it would not be able to find a matching source and a "apt-get [build-dep|source] dpkg" would fail. Most users would see this as a regression (also it's technically correct that it can't find a matching source :) Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

The current version in unstable does save the last search type. So if you switch to "name" once, your are done. Does that fix the problem for you? Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.

Bug#250583: confirm on synaptic
Hi, I debugged the same problem in synaptic recently. Here is the url: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=15603 I'm currently clueless about this bug. Each mmap is unmaped (I verfied with both strace and some debug code mmap.cc), the file handles are closed. But apparently it's not freed. Any ideas what might cause this problem are greatly appreciated. What references on a mmap may still be hold that prevent a munmap? Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

Installing python2.3-apt, python2.4-apt and pyhton-apt together seems to work fine here (update-to-date sid). What error do you get when you try it? Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.

This very much depends on apt. If it will get implemented in apt (see #47379) then it will be very easy to add to synaptic. If not it's will be very hard :) Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer. Yes is the answer.

Output from a failed build without sgmltools-lite: I'm unable to reproduce your problem, apt builds fine here in my sid pbuilder. Maybe you tried to build apt directly from the tla/baz repository? In this case there are more packages needed. The apt--mvo--0 arch branch contains a file "README.arch" that contains information about the needed packages for a build directly from arch.

This may very well be a error in the error reporting code in the current apt version in sid. There is a fix in my apt--mvo--0 branch that should at least report the correct file extension (the current code reports .gz all the time). Cheers, Michael -- Linux is not The Answer.

Bug#128818: status update
Dear Friends, here is another update on the status of this bug. The current version in [EMAIL PROTECTED]/apt--pdiff--0 [1] works well for my little tests so far. I put some packages (build against current sid) at: deb http://people.debian.org/~mvo/apt/pdiffs / It's build with a new soname. I don't actually think that this is needed, I don't think the patch breaks the ABI. But the URL-Remap stuff will probably break without (so it's not needed in the final version). I use the following line in my sources.list to test the diff apply code: deb http://merkel.debian.org/~aba/debian/ sid main contrib You can even use this url for real package installs/upgrades if you tell apt to remap that url to the archive url: apt-get -o APT::URL-Remap::http://merkel.debian.org/~aba/debian/=http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ dist-upgrade This "feature" is only added for testing the pdiff stuff until it's implemented somewhere officially and will go away once it's no longer needed. It also still displays the non-remapped url in the gui but connects to the remapped version (I haven't bothered yet). It still gives some funny output when it calculates the transfer speed, but otherwise the output of the fetcher looks mostly correct now.

Can you please install gnome-terminal and tell me if it has the same broken font by default? Could you also try to switch the font in synaptic preferences and see if it makes a difference?
