apt-cache dumpavail > /tmp/apt-chace; dpkg --update-avail /tmp/apt-chace;
I want to avoid the need to run update from within dselect after apt-get
dist-upgrade by writing the lines
Post-Invoke {
"apt-cache dumpavail > /tmp/apt-chace";
"dpkg --update-avail /tmp/apt-cache";
"rm -v /tmp/apt-chace";
"mount -o remount,ro /usr";
};
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
Is that reasonable? Are there any issues of file locking, breaking the regular
backups of the available and status files or other things that needs special
care?
How can I avoid the /tmp/apt-cache file?
Is there a better way to handle this?
