** Description changed:
[Impact]
apt search and probably other code crashes some time, as GetDepCache() in
trusty does not call BuildCaches() first.
[Test case]
- TODO, some apt search -o RootDir=<something> foobar
+ Run apt search -o RootDir=/dev/null foobar, make sure it does not crash.
[Regression potential]
There may be some locking implications, as we build caches when opening
depcache first, without locks. That said, the same code is in use in all
post-trusty releases, and they work fine.
** Also affects: apt (Ubuntu Trusty)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Trusty)
Status: New => In Progress
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Released
