Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
After upgrading to Lucid, the apt cron.daily script is no longer
updating my package lists daily.
apt:
Installed: 0.7.25.3ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.7.25.3ubuntu3
Version table:
0.7.25.3ubuntu3 0
500 http://apt.interlinx.bc.ca lucid/main Packages
*** 0.7.25.3ubuntu1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Without really understanding everything the cron script is doing, using
a Karmic machine as reference it appears that this is the problem:
lucid # apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
DownloadUpgradeableInterval \
> APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages
That returns no output at all. On my working Karmic machine:
karmic # apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists
DownloadUpgradeableInterval \
> APT::Periodic::Download-Upgradeable-Packages
UpdateInterval='1'
DownloadUpgradeableInterval='0'
