Bug#431816: apt-mark fails after renaming extended states
Package: apt
Version: 0.7.3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
*** Please type your report below this line ***
As I was fiddling with apt-mark, I discovered that after writing the
new "extended-states.tmp" file and renaming it, it tries to access the
"old" file. I have included a patch for that, and another option
parsing mistake, when -f is specified.
I think the attached simple "diff" patch makes apt-mark OK to the best
of my knowledge.
Thanks.
Kumar
