2012-08-21 06:33:30 Daniel Hartwig description When executing thoses commands, aptitude loops infinitely : aptitude clean && aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade -d -y ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: aptitude 0.6.6-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-22.35-generic-pae 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-22-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Apr 7 10:36:46 2012 ProcEnviron: TERM=linux PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: aptitude UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) [Impact] Users of aptitude can not download updates in advance with the intention of installing them later. One common use case is using apt-cron to download all available updates at night then reviewing and installing a subset of them later. The problem does not occur for all users, but can be traced to a point where the download/install logic invokes dpkg even though it is supposed to only download packages. [Test Case] * Wait for package updates to be available: # aptitude clean && aptitude update […] Current status: 6 updates [+6]. * Fetch the updates using -d (download only) and observe that after the download, aptitude loops (appears stuck) without ever exiting: # aptitude safe-upgrade -d -y […] Get: 5 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise/main insserv i386 1.14.0-2.1ubuntu2 [50.1 kB] Get: 6 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise/main iproute i386 20111117-1ubuntu2 [441 kB] Fetched 3574 kB in 0s (9562 kB/s) [Regression Potential] Small. * Small patch touching only one file. * Some of the updated logic can be checked against similar code in apt/cmndline/apt-get.cc(InstallPackages). * Fixed in Debian sid since May with no regressions reported. ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: aptitude 0.6.6-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-22.35-generic-pae 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-22-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Apr 7 10:36:46 2012 ProcEnviron:  TERM=linux  PATH=(custom, no user)  LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8  SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: aptitude UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
