Public bug reported: Using python-apt 1.1.0~beta1build1.
Calling cache like such: cache = apt.Cache(memonly=True, rootdir='/home/seitz/tmp/apt_root') cache.update(sources_list='/home/seitz/tmp/apt_root/etc/apt/sources-zesty.list') Would produce an empty cache :( If I copy the contents of sources- zesty.list to sources.list in that same directory and pass that path as an argument, it functions properly. I am looping over several Ubuntu releases as including them all in one sources.list caused conflicts. Please advise. ** Affects: python-apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python-apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1693941 Title: passing an absolute path for sources_list to cache.update does not work Status in python-apt package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Using python-apt 1.1.0~beta1build1.
