Package: apt-listbugs Version: 0.1.6 Severity: wishlist As a more radical fix for bug #662983 (for which a less than satisfactory work around has been implemented), apt-listbugs should be able to read the Pre-Install-Pkgs hook information through a named pipe, rather than on its stdin.
The name of the FIFO should be obtained as a commandline argument, as in: apt-listbugs apt /tmp/apt_hook_pipe.st3ab6 In this case, apt-listbugs should read the hook info from the FIFO named "/tmp/apt_hook_pipe.st3ab6" and then have stdin usable (without having to explicitly open /dev/tty) for user interaction. When no second (non-option) argument is given, apt-listbugs should read the hook info from its stdin, as it does currently (but switch to non-interactive failure mode). Obviously, this feature cannot be implemented until apt(itude) supports it (see bug #671726). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
