[Bug 1764928] Re: Please document apt-daily
I see, this must have been updated on a later version. Under Ubuntu 16.04.5, and up to apt-1.2.27, the man page reads: PERIODIC AND ARCHIVES OPTIONS APT::Periodic and APT::Archives groups of options configure behavior of apt periodic updates, which is done by the /etc/cron.daily/apt script. See the top of this script for the brief documentation of these options. This must have been fixed upstream in a later version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764928 Title: Please document apt-daily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1764928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1764928] Re: Please document apt-daily
apt.conf(5) is inaccurate. apt.conf(5) references /etc/cron.daily/apt; apt installs /etc/cron.daily /apt-compat. Furthermore, the man page gives reference to users to `see the top of the script for explanation of these (periodic and archive) options`. The top of /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat does not have an explanation of those options. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764928 Title: Please document apt-daily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1764928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1764928] [NEW] Please document apt-daily
Public bug reported: The following systemd services are installed along with apt: /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.service /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.service By default, these run the equivalent of "apt update", and "apt upgrade" at specified times. However, this behavior is documented nowhere in the man pages or /usr/share/doc. Furthermore, they run the command /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily, which is also undocumented, nor does it respond to a --help option. A non- savvy Linux user will not be able to determine that this is a shell script and find out what it does. Or worse, a partially-savvy Linux user will be able to determine that this is a shell script, and will read it imperfectly (usage is also not described in script comments) ending up with a wrong idea of what it does. The idea is to keep the system updates. That is a GOOD THING (tm). But it relies on undocumented behavior. That is a BAD THING (tm). Can we have the apt-daily service documented? madumlao@lezard ~ $ lsb_release -rd Description:Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS Release:16.04 apt version: 1.2.26 ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1764928 Title: Please document apt-daily To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1764928/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 238013] Re: yum seems to depend on python2.4, but agrees with python2.5
Frakie, your yum is already working. However, you can't (or shouldn't) install packages on debian using yum because yum will conflict with apt- get. At most, a debian "yum" script should just be a frontend to apt- get. My intended use of yum is to use a separate install root with which to demo rpm installation to students. I create a /usr/yum folder and point the yum.conf file to that install root. Installation will work, but relative only to that root. rpm/yum should not really touch a debian system directly. -- yum seems to depend on python2.4, but agrees with python2.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238013 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 238013] [NEW] yum seems to depend on python2.4, but agrees with python2.5
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: yum I am trying to write out an Linux training course for system administrators. I am aiming to be distribution neutral. For this matter, I intend to tackle both yum and apt-get. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 desktop and am intending to demonstrate usage of both yum and apt-get. Demonstration units will be running 8.04 server. I will be demonstrating the use of both yum and rpm. However, the yum coming from the apt repositories fails. ===sample command [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo yum install fluxbox There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: No module named cElementTree Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly. It's possible that the above module doesn't match the current version of Python, which is: 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:17:30) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] If you cannot solve this problem yourself, please send this message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. === The package in question is python-celementtree. It is installed on my unit under python2.4. ===verifying existence of cElementTree [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree* /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree.so /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cElementTree-1.0.5_20051216-py2.4.egg-info: dependency_links.txt PKG-INFO SOURCES.txt top_level.txt === my celementtree version is also posted below. What appears to happen is that yum tries to run under python2.5 and then fails to find its dependencies. What should happen is one of the following: 1) that yum runs under python2.4 and finds it dependencies 2) that celementtree has a python2.5 version (possibly not possible/compatible) Some possible solutions/workarounds to the problem are 1) python alternatives system in debian has to be rethinked/developed to allow individual packages to select versions of python to run. (Does python have native working of this?) (possibly debian python bug) 2) python itself needs to allow individual packages to select versions of python to run. (see above) (possibly python feature request) 3) yum debian package needs to be smart enough to depend on and use the python version it works on. 4) edit #!/usr/bin/python -> #!/usr/bin/python2.4 in /usr/bin/yum and yum-arch executables. Quick and dirty solution, but it works and is the workaround I used. What should not happen is 1) user is told to change global python requirement to python2.5. This is a wrong solution. User may prefer python2.5 for most packages but need python2.4 I need further advise as to how to report this problem as it touches different packages, but yum seems to be the closest logical choice. === bug report requirements.
