Package: apt-file Version: 2.5.4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
it is possible to run apt as non-root in a completely detached directory tree using config options like Dir::Etc, Dir::Etc::SourceList, Dir::State::Status and others. This allows apt-file to be run in a similar way by pointing the --cache and --sources-list commandline options to the non-root paths. What is missing is to also allow apt-file to use a different configuration file than /etc/apt/apt-file.conf and a different sources.list.d directory than /etc/apt/sources.list.d Otherwise, the configuration and sources.list.d folder of the host might interfere with the apt-file execution which is meant to be separate. So it might make sense to add two now options like --config and --sourceslistd. This might be made obsolete by the resolution of bug #516817. Thanks! cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
