Package: apt Version: 0.7.22 Severity: normal Today the daily apt cron job exited with
/etc/cron.daily/apt: line 310: [: : integer expression expected This is because $VERBOSE in this line in debug_echo 310 if [ "$VERBOSE" -ge 1 ]; then expands to the empty string. I believe this is caused a few lines down by this piece of code: 322 # Set VERBOSE mode from apt-config (or inherit from environment) 323 eval $(apt-config shell VERBOSE APT::Periodic::Verbose) 324 debug_echo "verbose level $VERBOSE" 325 if [ -z "$VERBOSE" ]; then 326 VERBOSE="0" 327 fi I think the test for the empty string in lines 325-327 and the printing of the resulting value with debug_echo on line 324 should be swapped.
