Then perhaps a new option --ignore-invalid should be provided? There are use cases for this, particularly when the list of package is dynamically constructed. For example, when localizing packages, a most general script could be:
locale="pt-br" package="iceweasel-l10n-" lang="pt" apt-get install --ignore-invalid $package$locale $package$lang for any reasonable choice of variables. The only working alternative, currently, is: for p in $package$locale $package$lang; do apt-get install $p; done which is far less efficient. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512190 Title: "apt-get --ignore-missing install" fails when it can't find a package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/512190/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
