apt-listbugs error

2008-06-27 Thread Gerard Robin

Hello,
apt-listbugs works fine for almost all packages except for
texlive-latex-base: (for me)

sudo apt-listbugs list texlive-latex-base:

Retrieving bug reports... 0% Fail
Error retrieving bug reports from the server with the following error message:
 W: invalid date
It could be because your network is down, or because of broken proxy servers, or 
the BTS server itself is down. Check network configuration and try again



Does someone knows what happen ?

I use apt-get and after a couple of minutes the listbugs timed out then
gave me a choice of proceed(y) or not(n)... didn't have to interrupt it

I would guess moving /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs would stop it
from running, but I could be wrong.

I said unusable, not unstable ;P

It wouldn't cancel for me, everytime I Ctrl+C'd to try to maybe cancel
the bug retrieving it cancelled the entire install process. I had to
purge it to get APT installing packages again.

Okay, it slows things down but it doesn't make things unstable. You can
still (at your own risk) install ignoring whatever bugs...

Until the problem goes away for you, I'd remove apt-listbugs. Although
from what I've read the servers are fixed.

If this happens again just remove apt-listbugs for a week, otherwise
APT itself will become pretty unusable (Unless you can disable it? I'm
not sure how one would go about doing this though)

From reading debian-devel is the last few days it was mentioned that
there were changes to where bug info was comming from. Don armstrong who
maintains the debbugs packages, which is the bts software, has a
modified version of the bts on his own site. So it maybe that this is a
result of the changeover from his site to the new 'official' version on
debian.org that is now affecting the apt-listbugs packages.

apt-listbugs error retrieving bugreports

2007-03-27 Thread Anthony Campbell
For the last few days apt-listbugs is failing with the following
message:

Connection timed out - connect(2) (bugs.donarmstrong.com, #80)

I don't know what this server is; pinging it does show it is is down but
I don't know why apt-listbugs is trying to reach it.

Googling shows people with similar problems though not identical, and no
obvious solutions.

Anyone else seeing it?
