Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.9-1~exp1
Severity: important
Hi,
aptitude 0.6.9 tries to use debtags even if debtags is not installed,
resulting (besides trying to build a tag database which 0.6.8 didn't
without debtags being installed) in the following error on (interactive)
startup:
E: Could not open file /var/lib/debtags/package-tags - open (2: No such file or
directory)
debtags is just a "Suggests"(*) of aptitude and hence it should be
handled as such.
(*) IMHO that should stay that way as debtags IMHO is a resource hog
which is not necessary on many systems.
