I first submitted this bug and the 674664 one to the package aptitude-doc which is non-existant. I thought that was the name of the source package for the documentation. I then reassigned them both to the aptitude package. Sorry I don't know how to reassign them to the source package, but I guess at least it is not a non-existant/unknow package. I deeply apologize for the mishap.

Relevant part: The full build log is available from: http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2012/05/24/aptitude_0.6.7-1_unstable.log A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute! About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot. Internet was not accessible from the build systems. </pre> Lucas Nussbaum 2012-05-24T09:29:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.aptitude.general/1643 <pre></pre> Justrader par PR Consulting 2012-05-23T12:16:54 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.aptitude.general/1637 <pre> Indeed. There may be a few random issues in places, and definitely some problems with the format strings. [I fixed some column width issues in many localizations today. A more translator-friendly system for setting the widths is also underway.] One column in particular – %u (Disk Usage Change) – is very long with default width 30, yet it doesn't need to be. Currently it displays text such as: Will use 100 MB of disk space. and appears in the default header line, tacking up much space. In many translations, the full text almost never fits. It would be preferable to change this to something shorter, like: Disk Usage: +100 MB which also makes it very similar to it's neighbours %B (Broken Count) and %o (Download Size): #Broken: 3 DL Size: 20 MB There should be enough time for translators to update this one string if asked nicely ;-) so unless there are any issues with the new string it will be changed soon.

Currently we allow each translator to set the default widths of those columns. German and some other languages did not have column widths matching the translated strings for these two: download size and broken count. This mechanism is a hack, hard to read, and hard for translators to use. I plan to replace it with something more sensible in the near future. For the time being I have just updated most translations so that the default widths of those two columns fits nicely. No action is required of the German team to fix this. There are some other languages where this is an issue because both of those columns are very wide, and I will follow up with the relevant translation teams shortly.

When I proceeded to enable it, I found that foreign packages showed up as distinct items (with architecture-tagged names). That approach makes a lot of sense on the whole, but limits search possibilities; in particular, the only way I found to determine which packages are available just for a specific architecture (native or foreign) was to search by architecture from the command line and save the results to files I proceeded to feed to the comm utility. While that arrangement did give me package lists, it's far more awkward than I care for, particularly considering that proceeding to explore those lists within aptitude would have required making them the basis for user tags, which would then require regular resynchronization. As such, I'd appreciate an extension to aptitude's filter language that would enable built-in support for such searches. Specifically, I propose ?any-architecture and ?all-arc</pre> Aaron M.

If you desire a non-interactive install then you should redirect stdin from /dev/null: # apt-get install -y foo &lt; /dev/null &gt; apt.log 2&gt;&amp;1 &amp; Without this redirect, the program receives either SIGTTIN or SIGTTOU depending on whether or not the keyboard is used after running. See below for debugging info. DPkgPM (libapt-pkg) eagerly tries to forward all input to the dpkg sub-process. This is the cause of the problem. I'll leave it up to the more experienced apt developers to decide if this is really a bug, too hard to fix, or just standard behaviour. It would be ideal if the potential SIGTTIN could be avoided until the dpkg process actually tries to read stdin, rather than eagerly forwarding all input -- the process would only stop if dpkg was actually seeking input.

We could be more intelligent, providing a clearer error message, or perhaps we should do like "apt-get install --reinstall" and just upgrade it instead: in which case I'd like to support "--reinstall" directly and back away from plain "reinstall" command, so that there is less distinction between apt-get/aptitude.

I have some comments about your suggestion: Hiding 'main' in this case is a suggested enhancement.[1] Note: open an entire sub-tree by pressing `[', close it again with `]' or `^ ]'. How about this one: - similar packages from different components are far apart in the tree; choosing an editor, for example, will require opening up to three very different places to compare the free/non-free options. The current default works well for the general case of browsing for packages by function. When licence becomes the primary concern, it is easy to change the grouping temporarily (permanently if you are so inclined) to something like what you use: Marking this one as wontfix, but leaving opening for possible opinions on the subject.
