Bug Description
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.
500 http://
*** 0.7.25.3ubuntu1 0
100 /var/lib/
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:
> APT::Periodic:
That returns no output at all. On my working Karmic machine:
karmic # apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic:
> APT::Periodic:
UpdateInterval='1'
DownloadUpgrade
Here the output of the command on my Lucid machine: :Update- Package- Lists DownloadUpgrade ableInterval APT::Periodic: :Download- Upgradeable- Packages ableInterval= '1'
$ apt-config shell UpdateInterval APT::Periodic:
UpdateInterval='1'
DownloadUpgrade
Probably the problem is somewhere else.
