Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
A while back, I noticed that aptitude and apt could no longer be used
together on my system: If aptitude had been used to update Packages and
Sources lists too, apt would not see the lists. (And vice versa.)
This happened because aptitude now formats port numbers in URLs with
thousands' grouping characters as defined by the locale (in this case
en_US.utf-8):
,----
| $ sudo aptitude update
| Hit http://localhost:9,999/debian sid InRelease
| Get: 1 http://localhost:9,999/debian stretch InRelease [232 kB]
| [...]
| $ sudo LANG=C aptitude update
| Get: 1 http://localhost:9999/debian sid InRelease [205 kB]
| Get: 2 http://localhost:9999/debian stretch InRelease [232 kB]
| [...]
`----
The extra comma also ended up as part of the filenames in
/var/lib/apt/lists, which explains the described behavior.
Version 0.7.5-3 does not have this problem.
Further investigation shows that commit
198c06d1d481728147f61c1482ac7e52337363db (Change filename of lock file
from tag "literal" to "filename") contains a seemingly unrelated change
where setlocale() is replaced with a call to the C++ stdlib.
Reverting that bit fixes the problem for me; I have attached a patch.
Cheers,
-Hilko
