Package: apt Version: 0.6.44.2 Severity: normal
The maintainers clearly do not want separate bug requests piled all into one report; but perhaps a request to allow hash (#) chars as comments in _all_ apt config files, such as '/etc/apt/apt.conf' is seen as the same bug/request. I dunno. Let's see what the response is. And so I'm filing this request/bug as a separate bug, since it is wholly reasonable to expect to have/allow #s as comments in config files; and it's bothersome when they are not allowed, for whatever (IMO) arcane reason. And it loox like nothing has been done on this front since the last time I visited this report, or since it was first filed -- both being quite some time ago. Allow # comment lines in all apt config files, please. -- Package-specific info: -- (/etc/apt/preferences present, but not submitted) -- -- (/etc/apt/sources.list present, but not submitted) -- -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (998, 'testing'), (501, 'stable'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.20 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.0-4 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.0-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages apt recommends: pn debian-archive-keyring <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
