This would still be a significant rewrite of the filtering features: apt-listbugs currently queries the BTS (via SOAP) for bugs of the desired severities, and then drops all the bugs that should be filtered out (based on tags, bug numbers, and so forth...). Hence all the filters are in AND with each other "by design", I would almost say. > > > What about invoking apt-listbugs multiple times (once for each filter > > you would like to be in OR with other ones)? > > I'll have to test in practice, but via DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs, I may > need to confirm twice. Yes, if you invoke apt-listbugs twice, you'll have to interact with it twice (as long as both invocations require input from you, of course!). > However perhaps this won't happen very often. I re-iterate my suggestion to try this strategy and to let me know how it worked.
