Package: aptitude Version: 0.8.10-1 Severity: normal /var/log/aptitude shows the default architecture (e.g. amd64) when logging actions pertaining to an architecture:all package, e.g.
[UPGRADE] console-setup:amd64 1.171 -> 1.172 should be [UPGRADE] console-setup:all 1.171 -> 1.172 This is making it more difficult to write a script to back out of last N updates using debsnap, because debsnap can download debs for a specific architecture or all available architectures, but does not automatically select an architecture:all deb when a specific architecture is requested (reasonable behavior for debsnap). In the extremely rare (I think) case where an upgrade (or downgrade) replaces a specific architecture package with an architecture all package, or vice versa, I would be okay with my script breaking because it does not have enough information from /var/log/aptitude to get it right. E.g. I think it is okay to arbitrarily choose one architecture or the other, but I think it is more useful to know the architecture of the package being replaced than that of the one being installed. ...Marvin -- Package-specific info: Terminal: screen $DISPLAY is set. which aptitude: /usr/bin/aptitude aptitude version information: aptitude 0.8.10 Compiler: g++ 7.2.0 Compiled against: apt version 5.0.2 NCurses version 6.0 libsigc++ version: 2.10.0 Gtk+ support disabled.
