Bug#680287: apt: cronjob exits with error: /etc/cron.daily/apt: cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/apt/extended_states': No such file or directory

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your packages cronjob exits with
error.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m26.4s INFO: Package apt contains cron file: /etc/cron.daily/apt
0m26.4s DEBUG: Starting command: ['chroot', '/tmp/piupartss/tmpzUCNHF', 'eatmydata', '/etc/cron.daily/apt']
0m26.9s DUMP: 
  cp: cannot stat `/var/lib/apt/extended_states': No such file or directory
0m26.9s DEBUG: Command ok: ['chroot', '/tmp/piupartss/tmpzUCNHF', 'eatmydata', '/etc/cron.daily/apt']
0m26.9s ERROR: FAIL: Cron file /etc/cron.daily/apt has output with package removed


No, apt was not removed, but the cronjob fails anyway, therefore setting
the severity to serious.


cheers,

Andreas
