Package: apt
Version: 1.4~rc1
Severity: important
Hi,
for testing purposes I installed plasma-discover on my Stretch box.
That pulled appstream, enabling fetching of DEP-11 stuff,
which our debmirror/stable powered local mirror does not host.
The inability to fetch DEP-11 icons makes apt fail with what looks
like a minor error, but in fact it will not update the package lists.
Therefore apt-get upgrade, unattended-upgrades aso. will report that the system
is up to date without installing any updates.
After purging appstream now my system has to upgrade some hundred packages :(
IMHO apt must not abort on missing DEP-11 information as
I'd consider that purely optional information.
In fact this is #824563 but I did not manage to unarchive and reopen that bug.
Kind regards,
Christopher
