Subject: apt: Comment character unspecified in apt_preferences(5)
X-Mailer: reportbug 1.50
Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2002 16:58:57 -0400
Message-Id: <E17hcZ7-0004oD-00@cray.terc.edu>
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: minor
The comment character is unspecified in apt_preferences(5), probably
due to some format error or another. To quote:
The file consists of a number of records formed like the dpkg
status file, space seperated sections of text with at the start of
each line tags seperated by a colon. It is stored in
/etc/apt/preferences.
It seems that "with at" wants to have some character or another in the
middle.

There is a new apt_preferences file in apt 0.5.5.
The file still has problems. I am about to file a new
bug report about them. While we wait for the page to
be fixed, you can read the revised page at:
