Hi, As reported in #1042902 system-packages-el in some configurations sets its system-packages-package-manager variable to a wrong value. The upstream documentation says that
The package attempts to guess which package manager you use. If it guesses wrong (or you'd like to set it manually), you may modify the variable =system-packages-package-manager=. Typically one uses apt/apt-get in Debian, so I think it is justified to set the variable to apt by default. I can imagine someone who uses other package managers in Debian, but guess these users are not our primary target audience so to say. What the team thinks about the issue? Should the variable be set to apt by default in Debian? If yes, where would you suggest to set it? Regards, Lev
