Hi David, Quoting David Kalnischkies (2014-06-26 21:48:42) > I think it is a bad idea to use our lib-directory directly. if apt developers agree that it is a bad idea to allow 3rd party software access /var/lib/apt/lists, then please close this bug report. I will then redirect those who want botch to make use of /var/lib/apt/lists to this bug report. Thank you! cheers, josch
