Package: apt Version: 0.7.20.2+lenny1 Severity: wishlist
Hello, I need a way to specify IP addresses for outgoing apt requests, to chose the appropriate IP number on multihomed machines. So far, apt appears to take the numerically largest address present on the machine, which is unsuitable in my case, and prevents some of my machines from updating themselves correctly. Looking through the documentation, bug reports, and taking a cursory glance at the source code, I could not find anything suitable. Kind regards, --Toni++ -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'proposed-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (450, 'testing'), (250, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2009.01.31 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages.
