Bug#368665: apt: typos in ./README.make
Package: apt
Version: 0.6.43.3
Tags: minor
I was trying to figure out how to build apt, so I downloaded the
source for apt-0.6.43.3
first I got the sources using apt-build 0.12.17
I couldn't figure out how to get apt-build to let me do that as non
root (i'm really trying to avoid being root atm, and clearly i'm
failing).
root@swift:/tmp/messbox# apt-build --sources-list
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/etch-debian.list --build-dir apt
--target-release testing source apt 0.6.43.3
so then I tried reading the READMEs. And ran into some typos, which
led me to this bugmail.
timeless@swift:/tmp/messbox/apt/apt-0.6.43.3$ aspell -v
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.4)
timeless@swift:/tmp/messbox/apt/apt-0.6.43.3$ (less README.make
|aspell -a|sort|uniq) > 0
The package does seem to have quite a few dependencies.
No details about my debian system seem appropriate.
