Control: tags -1 + pending

Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.11-1 Severity: wishlist Here we see that we had all the archives we needed, but are thwarted anyway due to a missing partial/ directory that we aren't going to be using anyway. Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 98.2 MB will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] Y E: Archives directory /mnt/usb/extra1/partial is missing. - Acquire (30: Read-only file system) Writing extended state information... In the worst case the user could not proceed and must make a trip to town to purchase additional read-write media upon which to make a partial/ directory.
... or alternatively, if it's a knowledgeable user, it can occur to her/him to create a symlink/bind-mount/etc to somewhere writeable, like the /tmp/blah directory, to appease the stubborn program. (BTW, it would help to have more descriptive titles, e.g. including words such as "download" or [parts of] the error message, so it's easier to find related bugs when people are looking into a particular area). Anyway, got a way around this, so marking as +pending. Cheers. -- Manuel A. Fernandez Montecelo <manuel.montez...@gmail.com>
