Well... I decided to have a look at the source, I won't pretend that I'm a C++ guru, but I know what I'm looking at when I see it.
I have supplied a cheap patch, I tested it in a debootstrap and the results of it don't seem to have any side effects (not that it would anyway)... What it does instead of the original apt-get, is print a "warning" message instead of an error, re-creates the log directory and carries on with the rest of the application. This is what you'll see: W: Directory '/var/log/apt' missing (re-creating) To install, just cp the bin/lib* files that were made in the compile to /usr/lib/ directory (no need to patch the actual apt-get binary, it's the libraries that seem to contain this information). But I doubt it'll get submitted, as I don't feel that my coding style matches the rest of the source XD Regards Iain ** Attachment added: "patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20477969/patch -- E: Directory '/var/log/apt/' missing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
