Package: debtags Version: 1.1 Severity: normal Naively attempting to add tags to one of my packages I invoked debtags but got an error message as follows:
| ~$ debtags tag add lspowertweak system role::sw-utility | Warning: Impossible to restore previous backup copy: No such file or directory Can't write to /home/broonie/.debtags/patch (SystemException) | debtags: SystemException: No such file or directory Can't write to /home/broonie/.debtags/patch This is the first time I've invoked the debtags command line program. There appear to be two problems here: one is that the error message is a bit obscure, the other is that I would expect debtags to create the ~/.debtags directory if it does not already exist. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages debtags depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-libc6.3-5-3 0.6.38 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:4.0.1-2 GCC support library ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.6-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libtdb1 1.0.6-13 Trivial Database - shared library ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-1 compression library - runtime debtags recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
