OK, I can verify that the abort happens and that it's fixed by the patch I wrote. For future reference for myself or anyone else: to reproduce the bug you have to set APT_CONFIG to point at the apt.conf in this test case and edit apt.conf to include an absolute path to the desired include file (or add a literal include). This is a deficiency in aptitude-run-state-bundle, but also in apt (there doesn't seem to be a combination of path overrides that will cause it to read a different apt.conf, so a-c-s-b can't cause the configuration file in the bundle to be read). I haven't figured out why apt is behaving this way yet and I haven't verified for myself that it is preserved across updates, but I can confirm that sections are coming up empty. "apt-cache show gsfonts-other" prints: Package: gsfonts-other Section: Installed-Size: 1728 (...) Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
