Package: aptitude Version: 0.4.5.4-1 Severity: normal
Aptitude fails to download changelogs for some packages. The problem seems to be related to a package having a '+' in the version string: It reports 0 bytes downloaded: Downloaded 0B in 0s (0B/s) And an error message. E.g: E: Couldn't fetch URL http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/s/samba/samba_3.0.25b-1+b1/changelog E: Couldn't fetch URL http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/teg/teg_0.11.2-1+b1/changelog E: Couldn't fetch URL http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/f/fontforge/fontforge_0.0.20070607-3+b1/changelog Indeed, those files do not exist. Presumably, aptitude ought to strip the '+...' suffix; when searching the website, the changelogs shown for those package versions, are the same as for the versions without the '+...' suffix: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/s/samba/samba_3.0.25b-1/changelog http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/teg/teg_0.11.2-1/changelog http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/f/fontforge/fontforge_0.0.20070607-3/changelog Regards, Rogier. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aptitude depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.5 0.7.3 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.5-9+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.2-20070627-1 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.6-3 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsigc++-2.0-0c2a 2.0.17-2 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ ii libstdc++6 4.2-20070627-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aptitude recommends: ii aptitude-doc-en [aptitude-doc 0.4.5.4-1 English manual for aptitude, a ter ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.0-1 parse Debian changelogs and output -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
