Bug#574804: cron-apt installs new (Recommended) packages
Package: cron-apt Version: 0.6.7 Severity: important I have system with several php5-related packages installed and no libapache2-mod-php5. Every time php package is upgraded in lenny, libapache2-mod-php5 package is automatically installed by cron-apt (and breaks my apache, but that's a different story). Running apt-get dist-upgrade from command line does not cause this package to be installed. What configs/logs/dumps I need to provide to figure out what's going on and why new packages are installed by cron-apt? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (800, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-openvz-amd64 (SMP w/8 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 cron-apt depends on: ii apt 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Advanced front-end for dpkg Versions of packages cron-apt recommends: ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii cron 3.0pl1-105management of regular background p ii liblockfile1 1.08-3NFS-safe locking library, includes ii mailx 1:20071201-3 Transitional package for mailx ren cron-apt suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#574804: cron-apt installs new (Recommended) packages
Hi Mikhail This do not look like a bug report to me, but rather a request for help. Especially as I know for sure that cron-apt do not install any packages by default. Only download them. In any case, I'll help you. First, check the /etc/cron-apt/config file. The APTCOMMAND is important. You can set the MAILON and MAILTO directives to get an email with the upgrades if you want. Also check the OPTIONS setting. Then you should check each file in /etc/cron-apt/action.d/ If you simplify it you can say that the apt command looks like the following: $APTCOMMAND $OPTIONS linefromaction.d-file This is how it works.

tags 574804 + unreproducible thanks Twas brillig at 16:51:11 21.03.2010 UTC+01 when o...@debian.org did gyre and gimble: OL This do not look like a bug report to me, but rather a request for OL help. Especially as I know for sure that cron-apt do not install OL any packages by default. Only download them. OL In any case, I'll help you. Thanks for help! After digging further in logs (dpkg, cron-apt and shell history) I figured out it was local misconfiguration. P.S: the cron-apt config which I use is taken from /usr/share/doc/cron-apt/examples/3-download with --dry-run removed. -- http://fossarchy.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
