Package: apticron Version: 1.1.23 Followup-For: Bug #497175 The fix in 1.1.23 does not prevent a mail to be send every night when /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates does not exist.
A possible fix would be to move the error redirection from APTITUDE_HOLDS=`grep "^State: 2" -B 2 /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates |grep "^Package: .*$" |cut -d" " -f 2` 2>/dev/null to APTITUDE_HOLDS=`grep "^State: 2" -B 2 /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates 2>/dev/null |grep "^Package: .*$" |cut -d" " -f 2` Regards Thorsten -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apticron depends on: ii apt 0.7.14+b1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii bsd-mailx [mailx] 8.1.2-0.20071201cvs-3 A simple mail user agent ii debconf [debconf-2 1.5.22 Debian configuration management sy ii mailx 1:20071201-3 Transitional package for mailx ren ii ucf 3.0010 Update Configuration File: preserv Versions of packages apticron recommends: ii apt-listchanges 2.82 package change history notificatio ii iproute 20080725-2 networking and traffic control too apticron suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
