[Bug 678080] Re: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method
I am quite surprised to see that this critical bug, that renders apt over ssh unusable if you want to use ssh options, is not fixed in at least an LTS version of ubuntu after 1.5 years after it has been reported. I'm even more surprised that this isn't fixed in LTS when the exact patch is given by the reporter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678080 Title: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/678080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hey Frederic, thanks for your mail. This is confusing, the apt version in precise (12.04) I get via apt-get source apt does contain your patch. Is there some other problem somewhere maybe that is unrelated to the patch or a different kind of regression ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678080 Title: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/678080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 678080] Re: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method
Hello Michael, thanks for your quick response. I'm using the lucid (10.04) LTS server release. In there it's not fixed yet. It was actually broken a long time ago (read 8 years) in r859 of the rsh.cc file. For now I just fixed it by applying the patch with apt-get source apt and rebuilding the package. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678080 Title: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/678080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 678080] Re: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method
@Frederic: Does the work around in the bug description with the ssh shell script call work for you on 10.04 LTS? The only path to fix this problem on 10.04 LTS would be to use the SRU process, which is a bit involved. Given that according to the bug status only two people are affected and a work around is found in the bug description, chances for this to proceed is low. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678080 Title: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/678080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello Torsten, I can confirm that the work around does work on 10.04.

[Bug 678080] Re: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method
apt-0.8.11.5ubuntu3~tetet2 from your PPA repository does seem to fix the
issue.
I tried it with
Acquire::ssh::Options { -F; /etc/apt/ssh/ssh_config };
on 11.04 Natty alpha-3 live image. If necessary I can test the changes on
10.04 Lucid (and 10.10 Maverick), too, at least if you can provide the binary
packages.

I've built a test package in https://launchpad.net/~tspindler/+archive/apt. Can you test it, best on an expendable virtual machine, and report if it fixes the issue for you? Unfortunately I could not test the fix, as my apt also works with the old acquire option, I guess it does fall back to non ssh/rsh use when the connection does not work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/678080 Title: Unable to use any options with apt ssh/rsh acquire method -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
