Package: apt
Version: 1.2.10
Severity: normal

Since version 1.2.10, the package list is no more updated automatically.
I have to update the package list manually with "apt-get update".

In /var/log/syslog, there is the entry:
systemd[1]: apt-daily.timer: Adding 10h 13min 50.543133s random time
or similar.

If you need more informations, please let me know.

Best regards
Bernhard

For the record, you can easily close your (or in fact any) bug by
sending a mail to -done as I am doing now. That is in fact a very good
way to contribute to Debian: Triaging bugreports. This way everyone can
contribute to the great support everyone is expecting and deserving as
that is how this opensource stuff works "behind the scene".


> Thank you for the great support.

I smell irony, but as the end of the year is approaching I will take
what I can get as bug triage tends to be a rather thankless task
otherwise.

Thanks for the bugreport – even if you didn't get a reply it was surely
put into consideration in the reworkings of the cronjob which happend in
the meantime.

Can't speak of myself in this case as I tend to skip over cronjob issues
as I am not a user of it myself, but from experience I know that reading
the reports tends to stick in the back of my head to be applied to good
use later even if the original context is "lost".

It would of course be nicer if every bugreport would get a reply
instantly and/or be closed everytime we fix a related issue – at best
also instantly with the reply – but in practice we (as in apt team) are
too thinly staffed to do that.


Best regards
