Package: python-apt
Version: 0.7.13.3
Severity: normal
Run this code:
import apt_pkg
apt_pkg.InitConfig()
apt_pkg.InitSystem()
cache=apt_pkg.GetCache()
for pkg in cache.Packages:
if pkg.CurrentVer and pkg.Auto != 0:
print pkg.Name
This prints only:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You'd expect it to print at least one package on a normal system.
For example, look at a short excerpt from my /var/lib/apt/extended_states:
Package: python2.4
Auto-Installed: 1
Package: gcc-4.3
Auto-Installed: 1
Package: cpp
Auto-Installed: 1
Package: libgmp3c2
Auto-Installed: 1
Package: gcc
Auto-Installed: 0
So at least python2.4, gcc-4.3, cpp, and libgmp3c2 should be listed.
