If I change the lines back to woody in sources.list aptitude update fails while apt-get update succeeds. aptitude 0.2.15.9-2 and apt 0.5.28.6 from sarge don't have this bug.

OK, by sheer luck I found how to reproduce it: 1) Start with plain woody 2) Install at least one package using aptitude. aptitude install sl 3) Move source.lists to sarge 4) aptitude update will fail: # aptitude update Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree Reading extended state information... Done W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.fr.debian.org sarge/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.fr.debian.org sarge/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: You may want to update the package lists to correct these missing files Though `apt-get update' work. The release notes must take that bug into account. Cheers, -- Bill. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

retitle 309357 woody aptitude update can fail quit On Tue, May 17, 2005 at 01:45:14PM +0200, Gaudenz Steinlin wrote: On Mon, May 16, 2005 at 05:58:24PM +0200, Frans Pop wrote: Long version: The current version of the release notes tells users to (simplified): 1. apt-get install aptitude 2. change the /etc/apt/sources.list to point to stable 3. aptitude update In my test a few days ago I had to use apt-get update because of a bug in aptitude which refused to update the files from the new source. I'm not sure if this was only because I also changed to an other mirror. I'd change the release notes to tell users to do apt-get update to work around this bug in woodys aptitude. This is bug #309357, though I cannot reproduce the problem with my setup (with neither aptitude 0.2.11.1-3 nor 0.2.11.1-4). Cheers, -- Bill.
