I discovered that apt-dater is completely broken in the current state. Even with a valid XML host configuration file as generated, e.g.
<hosts> <group name="Localnet"> <host name="localhost" comment="Edit ~/.config/apt-dater/hosts.xml!"/> </group> </hosts> It will not be able to use that host: ssh: Could not resolve hostname (null): Name or service not known Also when adding hosts with their FQDN: <group name="test servers"> <host name="srv1.test.domain.tld" /> </group> Script started, file is /home/gert/.local/share/apt-dater/history/srv1.test.domain.tld:0/1430677527-19897/typescript ssh: Could not resolve hostname (null): Name or service not known also when manually overriding the ssh hostname with ssh- host="srv1.test.domain.tld", it doesn't work still with the same error message. The only viable option I see is downgrading apt-dater to 1.0.1 stable or 0.9.0. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451002 Title: Configuration files are backwards incompatible since 1.0.1+git20150119-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt-dater/+bug/1451002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
