Bug#720449: apt-utils 0.9.9.4 needs dependency on libapt-inst1.5 >= 0.9.9.4
Package: apt-utils
Version: 0.9.9.4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I upgraded apt-utils to version 0.9.9.4 (from version 0.9.8.1)
and apt-get did not require an upgrade also for libapt-inst1.5 to
version 0.9.9.4. Therefore my version of this library remained at 0.9.7.7.
apt-extracttemplates and apt-ftparchive still worked, but on every package
produced the error:
E: Could not open file descriptor -1
debconf: apt-extracttemplates failed: No such file or directory
although the installs and ftp archives did complete with no error.
I was able to trace this to the method:
ExtractTar::StartGzip() () from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libapt-inst.so.1.5
Upgrading libapt-instl to version 0.9.9.4 fixed the problem. The higher
version of this library package should be added to the dependencies for
apt-utils.
