Public bug reported:
Package version 0.1.25build2
Ubuntu version 12.04 Ubuntu precise (development branch)
I have only seen this problem in one machine out of tens.
The AptPkg::Cache has duplicate key entries for the packages. Normally
perl has could not have duplicates keys but his is a tied hash .
I attached the cache.pl simple script to test it.:
====
use strict;
use warnings;
use AptPkg::Cache;
my $cache = AptPkg::Cache->new();
foreach my $key (keys %{$cache}) {
print "$key\n";
}
print "Done";
1;
====
In the affected machine we get duplciate entries for all packages:
root@host:~# perl cache.pl | tail
libsdbm-ruby1.8
libsdbm-ruby1.8
libreoffice-l10n-ga
libindicate-doc
libungif4g
libungif4g
libreadline-dev
libreadline-dev
libpng12-dev
libpng12-dev
====
However if we use apt-cache all is normal:
root@zentyal23:~# apt-cache policy libpng12-dev
libpng12-dev:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.2.46-3ubuntu4
Version table:
1.2.46-3ubuntu4 0
500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages
====
The sources.list used in this test (I only let one entry to simplify
thing):
root@zentyal23:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted
=====
Also I have tested to run apt-get update but this not fixed the problem,
anyway apt-cache and apt-get works as expected so this should be a
specific problem of libapt-pkg-perl
