Bug#523920: create nonexistent /var/cache/apt/archives/partial directory

[Axel Beckert <abe@deuxchevaux.org>]

Hi,

this bug is especially annoying if /var/cache/apt/archives or
/var/cache/apt is mounted as tmpfs on systems which run off a CF or SD
card or very small SSDs (like the early EeePCs).

My current workaround is having the line

  mkdir -p /var/cache/apt/partial /var/cache/apt/archives/partial

in /etc/rc.local.

Works without problems for quite some weeks, but it would be nice to
have this fixed in apt.

		Regards, Axel
