Re: Warning: python-apt in testing broken, ** apt-listchanges ** users DO NOT UPGRADE
Huh? What's aptitude got to do with python-apt? Package: aptitude Version: 0.2.11.1-3 Depends: libapt-pkg-libc6.2-3-2-3.2, libc6 (= 2.2.4-4), libncurses5 (= 5.2.20020112a-1), libsigc++0, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (= 1:2.95.4-0.010810) Okay, I feel like an idiot. It's supposed to be apt-listchanges, not aptitude. -- Taral [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is digitally signed. Please PGP encrypt mail to me.

Disappearing task-* packages!
All the task-* packages seem to be missing from the main Packages file! Where did they go? P.S.

Nope, this will only upgrade to new versions. You need to add the
switch '--reinstall' to the invocation of apt-get. I also suggest
that you let apt-get do the install ordering instead of doing
'dpkg -i *.deb'. Otherwise dpkg probably will fail on
unconfigured predependencies...
Oh, that works too. I had used apt-get -d to download and dpkg -i to
install (dpkg will reinstall packages with plain -i).

From then on (sorry, I know of no other way) you will simply have to get a
list of installed packages (dpkg --get-selections, you can use cut or sed

on one cmdline.
Actually, dpkg is likely not to want to install them. Answer:
apt-get clean
apt-get -d install `dpkg --get-selections | awk '$2 == install { print
$1 }'`
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
This will force a reinstall. You just have to hope that upgraded
packages don't break on you.

Architecture question
I'm packaging acl2, which can take several hours to compile on a PPro 200. Would it be reasonable to exclude certain architectures as too slow?
