Package: apt Version: 2.9.19 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: j...@joshtriplett.org
apt-get and apt support a -U option to update before running the command. Please consider providing an option in apt.conf to always act as if this option were provided. That would allow (for instance) CI systems to make `apt install xyz` Just Work. I would suggest an `Apt::Get::Update` option, with possible values "true", "false", and (perhaps in the future) "binaries" (to update only binary repos and not source repos). -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: arm64 Kernel: Linux 6.12.6-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii adduser 3.137 ii base-passwd 3.6.5 ii debian-archive-keyring 2023.4 ii libapt-pkg6.0t64 2.9.19 ii libc6 2.40-4 ii libgcc-s1 14.2.0-11 ii libseccomp2 2.5.5-2 ii libssl3t64 3.3.2-2 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-11 ii libsystemd0 257.1-4 ii sqv 1.2.1-4 Versions of packages apt recommends: ii ca-certificates 20241223 Versions of packages apt suggests: pn apt-doc <none> ii aptitude 0.8.13-6.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.22.11 ii gnupg 2.2.45-2 pn powermgmt-base <none> -- no debconf information
