I normally run wajig as an unprivialiged user from my home directory
using sudo like I do for all other packages install related commands.
Wajig assumes my location is /etc/apt/ when I am really in /home/$USER
and this happens:
-------- console snip -------------------------

Wajig has assumed all along without checking that I am issuing teh
command from /etc/apt/ when I am really in /home/$USER/. I use sudo
wajig update as I would use sudo apt-get update and expect that it
updates the packages list as per usual ..... I hope
I have three Debian installed Sarge machines, kernels, blackstar's
kernel I compiled the others are standard Debian kernel images:
Linux blackstar 2.6.11.7-Blackstar-1.1 #1 Mon May 2 03:00:18 PDT 2005
i686 GNU/Linux
Linux fireroad 2.4.27-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16 15:28:25 JST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
Linux arbutus 2.6.12-3-multimedia-686 #1 Thu Jun 23 11:52:20 CEST 2005
i686 GNU/Linux
I've just re-checked these results by changing to root and working in
root's home. wajig downloads a list of mirrors then procedes to find
appropriate mirros and produded a sources.list in /root.
Hope this helps,
David

Hi David,
Thanks for the bug report.
I'm not sure why you think it might be a "critical" bug. It doesn't
render the system unusable. In fact, if it did overwrite sources.list
then I might even consider that a critical bug instead.....
The behaviour you report is how it is specifically implemented. I did
not want to accidently overwrite /etc/apt/sources.list. The purpose of
this command, as the description indicates, is to find local Debian
archives SUITABLE FOR sources.list, rather than TO REPLACE
CURRENT. Thus it creates a suggested sources.list file which it writes
into wherever you run the command.
In fact, this command does no more than to run the netselect-apt
command. If the resulting sources.list looks okay to you then you can
go ahead and cut and past the entry you want into the system version
(perhaps using wajig editsources).
I could add the extra functionality to automatically overwrite the
system sources.list but that does seem a little dangerous to me, since
many people fine tune their sources.list and overwritting it would be
a surprise.
I will close the bug with this email.
Let me know if you don't agree with the rationale.
Regards,
Graham
