The default is to fail as long as the bug is there, so you have a choice of: 1. fixing the RC bug 2. changing apt-listbugs configuration to ignore that particular class of bugs 3. adding the specific bug in the apt-listbugs ignore list.

If ignoring specific bugs is what you want, adding bugs to /var/lib/apt-listbugs/ignore_bugs sounds like a sound choice. If you want to start ignoring every single bug on non-interactive install, you might as well uninstall apt-listbugs. I'm feeling uneasy to ignore RC bugs unconditionally on installations with --force-yes or --assume-yes. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],netfort.gr.jp} Debian Project

When I add packages manually, the current behavior of apt-listbugs is perfectly sensible. But when I want to install a number of packages in an unattended manner, APT should ignore the bugs (suppose I reviewed all of them and found them acceptable and now I want to install the packages on several workstations). So I want to keep apt-listbugs installed and at the same time I need a switch to turn it off. --force-yes is an obvious answer but it doesn't work as expected. (Yes, I know --force-yes is evil.) How can I turn apt-listbugs off for a particular installation? WBR, Roman.

Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.0.84 Severity: normal When installing with apt-get -y --force-yes somepackage, any bugs found stop the installation process. That’s a problem with unattended installations. For example, Webmin has a feature to install packages from its Web interface: -%< Installing package(s) with command apt-get -y --force-yes -f install bind9 .. Reading package lists...
