Package: apt
Version: 0.9.14
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Today when I update I get this error :

:~# aptitude update
Error: No information about packages! (Maybe no deb entries?)
E: Problem executing scripts APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success 'test -x /usr/bin
/apt-show-versions || exit 0 ; apt-show-versions -i'
E: Sub-process returned an error code

And :
:~# mv /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-show-versions /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-show-
versions_bad

or :
:~# aptitude purge apt-show-versions

changes nothing and the sources.list has been modified and is empty :
:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
## See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
# CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.

latest updates are :
[Updates] apt:i386 0.9.13.1 -> 0.9.14
[Updates] apt-utils:i386 0.9.13.1 -> 0.9.14
[Updates] avahi-daemon:i386 0.6.31-2 -> 0.6.31-3
[Updates] libapt-inst1.5:i386 0.9.13.1 -> 0.9.14
[Updates] libapt-pkg4.12:i386 0.9.13.1 -> 0.9.14

I rebuilt the sources.list and everything is back to normal.

Hi,

So "aptitude update" didn't worked because of "apt-show-versions" and
yet you report this against "apt" because … all of them start with
'apt'?

If you want to disable a config file, you should move it out of this
directory (or give it an extension which isn't '.conf' - but you will
get a warning message in this case). "_bad" is maybe human
understandable, but for the machine its a perfectly valid filename.

> or :
> :~# aptitude purge apt-show-versions

That is surprising as the hook you mention isn't run in this case¹ and
removing apt-show-versions would make the config file (which you renamed
and hence can't be removed by purge) setting up a hook which exists
normally as it tests for the existence of the binary – so no problem
then (at least from the error message point of view).

¹ I assume, never really used aptitude. Would be a big bug in aptitude
though as it is not supposed to call those hooks from there.

That is a bit more than empty and while the text is similar to what the
example file distributed by apt now says it is the old text used until
May 2012 and a) the example includes a mirror and b) is only installed
if the file doesn't exist [and even this is at the moment not in effect].
Sounds more like something removed (all) entries from that file.


So you might want to be a teeny-weeny bit more explicit of what you did
and how so someone has a chance of reproducing the problem, but somehow
I doubt it is an apt bug.

I am therefore closing this bug now as I don't see much chance of
reproduciability and too high severity for it to keep it dangling.
Feel free to reopen if I am wrong.


Best regards
