Bug Description
Binary package hint: apt
Ubuntu 9.04, apt 0.7.20.2ubuntu6.
When 'apt-get install' is called with regular expression as its argument, it usually asks user for confirmation. However, it doesn't if packages matched by regular expression pull exactly 1000 packages as dependencies, not including themselves.
How to reproduce: download attached file and place it somewhere where apt will find it (path to it should look like /path/to/
Thank you for submitting this report. Actually, apt refuses to install the packages if the signing key is missing. Is there any way to verify with a valid key? Can this still be reproduced using the latest development version of Ubuntu, Maverick Meerkat?
