Bug#921583: apt: improper integration with package apt-listbugs
Subject: apt: improper integration with package apt-listbugs
Package: apt
Version: 1.8.0~rc2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Today, when I performed 'apt-get upgrade', apt correctly invoked
apt-listbugs, notified me of a grave bug in a package, and asked me if I
wanted to continue. When I said no, it exited.
This is a bug.
If apt is going to integrate apt-listbugs (which it has decided to do),
it should remove the noted package (and any sole dependencies) from
the list of packages to be upgraded in the current go, and proceed, or
not, based upon the user's answer to the usual prompt. Apt should not
abort the entire install because an objection to a single package.
