This bug was fixed in the package apt - 0.8.3ubuntu1
---
apt (0.8.3ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
* merged fixes from debian-sid
* debian/rules:
- put ubuntu-archive.gpg back into the package (LP: #620576)
* apt-pkg/init.cc:
- ignore .distUpgrade and .save files in sources.list.d
(LP: #631770)
apt (0.8.3) unstable; urgency=low
[ Manpages translations ]
* Japanese (KURASAWA Nozomu). Closes: #595862
[ Michael Vogt ]
* apt-pkg/indexcopy.cc:
- only use trusted.gpg.d directory if it exists

mode (LP: #612666), thanks to Colin Watson
[ David Kalnischkies ]
* ftparchive/apt-ftparchive.cc:
- ensure that BinDirectory as well as Tree settings get
the correct default FileMode setting (Closes: #595922)
apt (0.8.2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Manpages translations ]
* Spanish (Omar Campagne). Closes: #595557
[ David Kalnischkies ]
* apt-pkg/versionmatch.cc:
- do not accept 'Pin: origin ' (missing closing ) as a valid
way to pin a local archive: either or none…
* apt-pkg/deb/dpkgpm.cc:

inspired by Thomas Bechtold, thanks! (Closes: #523919, LP: #220239)

- support really still the APT::GPGV::TrustedKeyring setting,
as it breaks d-i badly otherwise (Closes: #595428)

way as the library part which works with the trusted files
* methods/{gzip,bzip2}.cc:

which means are optional and pinning a local archive does
work - even if it is a non-flat archive (Closes: #594435)

[Bug 220239] Re: E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing
Well... I decided to have a look at the source, I won't pretend that I'm a C++ guru, but I know what I'm looking at when I see it. I have supplied a cheap patch, I tested it in a debootstrap and the results of it don't seem to have any side effects (not that it would anyway)... What it does instead of the original apt-get, is print a warning message instead of an error, re-creates the log directory and carries on with the rest of the application. This is what you'll see: W: Directory '/var/log/apt' missing (re-creating) To install, just cp the bin/lib* files that were made in the compile to /usr/lib/ directory (no need to patch the actual apt-get binary, it's the libraries that seem to contain this information). But I doubt it'll get submitted, as I don't feel that my coding style matches the rest of the source XD Regards Iain ** Attachment added: patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20477969/patch -- E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I don't think this is an Ubuntu issue. /var/log/apt is missing when you follow the Ubuntu/Help instructions for reducing disk writes on the EeePC. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Using#Reducing%20Drive%20Writes Since your /etc/fstab file was probably altered by the people that released Ubuntu-eee 8.04.1, you can ask the same questions to them. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-eee -- E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 220239] Re: E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing
I don't know why /var/log/apt gets missing in your particular case. The most common reason is using tmpfs for /var/log which is a usual practice for SSD-based systems. Since SSD-based systems get more and more common (especially thanks to Asus Eee PC :-)) I think it would be nice to have correct operation with /var/log/apt missing (just create it if it doesn't exist). -- E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Putting this in /etc/gdm/Init/Default seems to have the right effect for me: CODE: ### Fix that bloody apt error! ### mkdir -p /var/log/apt/ exit 0 Does anyone know what's wrong?
