Bug#227447: Wishlist: apt-get should be strace-able
Package: apt
Version: 0.5.14
Severity: wishlist
For some applications(*), it would be highly desirable(*) to obtain a list
of files that have been seen/touched/transformed as a result of an apt-get
update.
Unfortunately, an
strace -o apt.trace -f -e trace=files apt-get upgrade
causes the sub-processes dealing with the various access method protocols
to fail.
(*) While this clearly is a "wishlist" issue, It nevertheless should be
considered as important, since some people may want to use such a
mechanism to easily maintain a tripwire-like database.
