4 Status: Require Status file.
5 #24717: apt dies early if one postinst/preinst dies
6 Status: Requires dpkg modifications
7 #28184: apt could be smarter regarding mirrors
8 Summary: Make use of redundant sources
9 Status: 0.3.0 will likely do this, already the information for it is stored.
10 #25104: APT should retry failed downloads
11 Summary: FTP method has problems with busy servers
12 Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
13 to control this desired behavoir.
14 #25176: Problem with FTP/firewall
15 #25458: Problem with FTP/firewall
16 Summary: FTP method has no controls for firewalls
17 Status: The 0.3.0 ftp method should probably use the configuration mechanism
18 to control this desired behavoir.
20 -- Fixed but unclosed things
21 #25026: apt: Why do you list the packages you're _not_ doing anything to instead of the ones you are?
22 #22507: apt: apt-get - listing packages to be upgraded (wishlist)
23 Summary: Feature request
24 Status: Fixed in 0.3.0 via the -u option
25 #21113: [Apt] In dselect, update dies and exits if the packages file is not found.
26 Status: Fixed in 0.3.0
27 #22675: APT does not honor the --admin-dir option
28 #22836: Disk/Zip-Method for apt?
29 Summary: APT does not provide a way to download packages onto a
30 removable media for another computer
31 Status: 0.3.0 has substantially better support for this to the point
32 that it is doable by using a seperate configuration file and
34 #27601: srange errors from dselect
35 Summary: Couldn't locate an archive source
36 Status: Require status file
37 Believed to be fixed in 0.1.9, was not reproducable w/ given
39 #27841: apt: apt depends on a missing library
40 Status: New versions of APT in slink have been compiled with libstdc++2.9
41 #23984: apt: support for "no_proxy" would be nice
42 Status: Planed to be integrated into the new methods via the configuration
44 Done - Use Acquire::http::proxy::host.com="DIRECT"
45 #25021: apt: Need some control over multiple connections
46 Status: Probable that 0.3.x will have support for configuing some
48 Done - Use Acquire::Queue-Mode="access"
49 #25019: apt: Confusing progress report
50 Summary: Gripes about the progress meter
51 Status: I do not intend to implement very many of these ideas in apt-get.
52 The GUI will naturally be better
53 I think the new progress meter address basically everyone's
55 #25022: apt: Lack of feedback on date checking
56 Summary: Wants to know what package files were not updated
57 Status: There is no place for this in the current apt-get design,
58 probably won't make the GUI either.
59 Wee, the new acquire code allows this, it now prints out 'Hit'
60 #26019: apt may report wrong line speed
61 #26433: apt: claims to fetch things it doesn't actually fetch (wishlist)
62 #28778: apt: apt's fetched message is wrong for update of packages files
63 Summary: APT includes the fetch time from the local cache in its
65 Status: Probably will be fixed with new acquire code
66 And it actually was fixed with the new acquire code
67 #26670: apt: apt-get dumps core after checking integrity
68 Summary: Some terminal environments cause APT to crash
69 Win95 telnet and emacs term-in-a-buffer are two at least
70 Status: I have no idea why.
71 Seems to be gone in .3, whatever it was...
72 #25001: apt: cleaned out archive even though not all files were installed
73 Status: Apparently in some cases APT can return a success code even
74 though it failed. I'm paying very close attention to this in
75 0.3.x. Not to mention that the clean behavior will be
77 #28391: apt-get install without upgrading
78 Summary: Make install leave the package in the keep state if it is already
80 Status: Will be implemented in 0.3.0
81 Try the --no-upgrade options
82 #28373: apt package is missing information on ftp.conf
83 #29293: apt: Docs reference apt(8) but apt(8) not provided.
84 Summary: The man pages have references to several non-existent items,
85 ftp.conf is only one of them.
86 Status: Fix the man pages. This certainly will be done in 0.3.0
87 #24799: Some suggestions for the apt method in dselect
88 Summary: Wants to be able to specifiy -d from dselect
89 Status: Likely a APT_OPTIONS enviornment variable will be created, -d can
91 There is already an APT_CONFIG in 0.3, APT_OPTIONS may also
93 Use Dselect::Options "-d" and others
94 #29920: Wish for more verbosity on "has no installation candidate"
96 Status: Already fixed in .3
97 #29382: apt: apt deletes packages after installation without any question
99 Status: Fixed in .3, use Dselect::Clean "prompt"
100 #30027: apt: version comparison bug
101 Summary: Version compare differs from dpkg
102 Status: Fixed in all CVS versions.
103 #30260: apt: wishlist: do not return to main menu without prompting for return
104 Summary: Wants to prompt after dselect update
105 Status: Fixed in v3, use dselect::promptafterupdate "true";
106 #29441: documenting the codes for -s
107 Summary: Apparently the simulation output is not immediately obvois
108 Status: Someone should update the man page.
109 #24685: HTTP Proxy cache refresh
110 Summary: Some caches hold onto the package index file for too long
111 Status: It may be possible to insert the proper header to disable
112 caching but I can't think how to do this while allowing
113 the cache to return cached objects - in effect it would
114 completely disable the cache which may not be desired.
115 APT now sends a max age header. See the apt.conf(5)
116 #28172: HTTP Proxy cache refresh should be forced for corrupted packages
117 Summary: Some problem resulted in a corrupted package
118 Status: I belive this reflects a deeper problem and the suggested solution
119 is only a band-aide patch. I intend to close this bug when #24685
120 is fixed with a configuration directive.
121 Use -o acquire::http::no-cache=true
122 #29351: poor error message after conffile update
123 Summary: APT errors when the package file is not found
124 Status: The new APT warns better and the error is not fatal
125 #30112: apt: internal error in apt
126 Summary: APT gives an unclear error when it cannot correct dependencies
127 Status: Error is clearer
128 #30324: apt-get lying about file dates in /var/state/apt/lists
129 Summary: Doesn't copy the file dates right with file URIs
131 #30383: apt: dist-upgrade msg "E: Internal error, ScoredFix generated breaks."
132 Summary: libc6 maddness causes bizzar problems
134 #29983: apt: Wrong diagnostic, could be better
135 Summary: It doesn't explicy say you should be root
137 #22892: Apt improvements
138 Summary: Bails if an index file can't be found
142 #26592: apt: Problems with ftpd in SunOS 5.6
143 #29903: apt-get insists onto sending a SIZE command
144 Summary: SunOS ftpd does not support the SIZE command
145 Status: Probably not worth fixing
146 #20723: Apt suggestion
147 Summary: Package Grouping Mechanism
149 #22550: apt-get upgrade could configure packages earlier
151 #23934: apt-get source <package>
152 #27190: apt: installing source packages (wishlist)
153 Status: Impossible to do without an index file for all source archives.
154 #26663: rsync file access
155 Status: Unlikely, rsync does not provide the necessary support to be
156 a terribly good method. I do not intend any 'split mode'
157 support (ie a way to get Package files via rsync and .debs
159 #22551: apt: wish: use dist X iff pkg does not exist in dist Y
160 #27100: apt: Better support for project/experimental
161 Status: GUI Feature - Version selection and pinning
162 #27646: Apt: dpkg --merge-avail
163 Summary: Suggestion to call merge avail after each update operation
164 Status: Unlikely. The dpkg --print-avail functions should be obsoleted
165 by the apt-query program which should be written.
166 #30237: apt: 0.1.9 checks dependencies against packages.gz
167 Summary: For packages with identical version numbers APT prefers
168 to use the archive index files
169 Status: Yes it is sorta bad, but there is no reasonable solution.
