Package: apt
Version: 1.1.4
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 + aptitude
Hi,
(Sorry to add to the counter of open bugs... but there's a bug in aptitude as a
result of this).
In pkgcache.h and .cc:
- pkgCache::Priority():
const char *Mapping[] = {0,_("important"),_("required"),_("standard"),
_("optional"),_("extra")};
- struct State {
...
enum VerPriority {Required=1,Important=2,Standard=3,Optional=4,Extra=5};
Note that the order of Required and Important is swapped, so it's not possible
to convert/cast between them, and e.g. printing
pkgCache::Priority(VerIterator->Priority) yields the wrong result with
Required/Important.
As a result of this:
$ aptitude -F '%P %R %p#' search ~n^apt$
required Imp apt
required Imp apt:i386
And the following is obviously a very minor problem, but I found about it while
grepping so I thought that I would include this in the case that you want to
change it: a comment in apt-pkg/orderlist.cc is also "inconsistent" with the
order of the enum:
apt-pkg/algorithms.cc: // Required Important Standard Optional Extra
apt-pkg/orderlist.cc: // Important Required Standard Optional Extra
Cheers.
