Package: apt Version: 0.7.9ubuntu17.2 Severity: normal
Running something like 'apt-get -o Dir::Etc:Preferences=/etc/foo/preferences dist-upgrade' will silently ignore the typo and use /etc/apt/preferences. It would be much nicer if there was at least a warning about the incorrect flag, or perhaps bailing out. -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers hardy-updates APT policy: (600, 'hardy-updates'), (600, 'hardy-security'), (600, 'hardy'), (400, 'hardy-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-24-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10ubuntu4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2.4-1ubuntu4 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.2.4-1ubuntu4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ubuntu-keyring 2008.03.04 GnuPG keys of the Ubuntu archive -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
