Bug#638050: [apt-get] please add option to completely ignore configuration
Package: apt
Version: 0.8.15.5
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/apt-get
Hi!
It would be really usefull from time to time to have a comandline
trigger or environment variable to make apt-get completely ignore any
system wide configuration. Currently both -c and APT_CONFIG allow to
*add* configuration snippets but not to replace / get rid of any.
Regards
Christoph
