Package: apt Version: 1.9.10 Severity: normal Hi,
recently mmdebstrap gained a new feature called --simulate which will call apt with -oAPT::Get::Simulate=true. While this works fine in Debian stable, it fails in current testing and unstable. To reproduce the problem consider the Packages file at the end of this mail and the following mmdebstrap command: ./mmdebstrap --verbose --dry-run --variant=essential . debian.tar "deb [trusted=yes] copy://$(pwd)/repo/ main ." [...] Reading package lists... Building dependency tree... The following additional packages will be installed: gcc-10-base libc6 libcrypt1 libgcc-s1 libgcc1 The following NEW packages will be installed: gcc-10-base libc-bin libc6 libcrypt1 libgcc-s1 libgcc1 0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

(2) The apt command executed by mmdebstrap is essentialy: APT_CONFIG=foo apt-get --yes -oApt::Get::Download-Only=true -oAPT::Get::Simulate=true install libc-bin And where foo contains stuff along the lines of: Apt::Architecture "amd64"; Apt::Architectures "amd64"; Dir "/tmp/mmdebstrap.Dt_RUrBC0g"; Dir::State::Status "/tmp/mmdebstrap.Dt_RUrBC0g/var/lib/dpkg/status"; Dir::Etc::Trusted "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg"; Dir::Etc::TrustedParts "/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/"; pkgCacheGen::ForceEssential ","; I don't even know whether you care about this but the dependency situation seems trivial so maybe this is actually an important bug?
